The local grape varieties of Fiano and Primitivo are the focus and the vineyards are planted using a modern high density espalier system to ensure low yields and great concentration. The winemaking at Surani is very modern in that the latest materials and techniques are used to extract the most fruit and character from the grapes.

CANTINE TEAMUM
Teanum was born in 2000 in San Paolo di Civitate, in the province of Foggia. The project was to revalue a historic cellar from the 70s, dedicated solely to the production of bulk wine. Guided by the ambition to make our products recognisable, we decided to invest in bottling and in the purchase of a second cellar, located in the Predicatella district of San Severo. The goal was to develop a characterising brand identity, in which the link with the history of our territory was evident both in the logo and through the story of our products. Today Teanum wines are present in most of the most important markets in the sector, with an annual production of 1.5 million bottles.
CANTINA TOLLO
