History - Ladogana

OUR HISTORY STARTED LONG AGO

1900

At the beginning of the 1900s, our great-grandfather Saverio opened the first winery and started marketing the sour and strong Apulian wine abroad, through long and tiring train journeys. Upon returning from each trip, his wife Felicia, an austere and indefatigable woman, and their five lively and ingenious children awaited him at home.

INAUGURATION OF THE NEW WINERY IN ORTA NOVA

1956

In 1956 our grandfather Franco took charge of continuing his father's business. Franco, an original and nonconformist spirit, increased the sales volumes of the wine by supplying all the "cellars" in the area. He also inaugurated the new cellar near Orta Nova, the magical place to which we would be linked for life.
