Giancarlo Ceci’s History and Philosophy<\/strong><\/h2>\nOrganic agriculture has become particularly important in recent years.It is now a thriving industry with in fact plenty of serious and well trained professionals in the field, owners of significant extensions of land, who believe \u2013 and have put into practice \u2013 the precepts of a less industrial and less chemical agriculture, while being deeply interested in the fundamental principals of a greater respect for nature and the land.\u00a0One of these is surely\u00a0Giancarlo Ceci<\/strong>\u00a0who, armed with a doctorate in agronomy from the University of Bologna, runs important holdings, which have been in his family for eight generations, in the northern part of\u00a0Puglia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/giancarlo-ceci3.jpg\")

Winemaking is carried out by following the highly competent counsels of Lorenzo Landi, and the wines are the classics of the zone, Bombino Bianco for the whites, Bombino Nero, Montepulciano, Aglianico, and Nero di Troia for the reds. Native varieties are nothing of a dogma however and the fine barrel-fermented Chardonnay is the concrete demonstration of this open-mindedness. The most important wine in terms of numbers is the\u00a0Parco Grande<\/strong>, 100 thousand bottles of a\u00a0blend<\/strong>\u00a0of\u00a0Montepulciano<\/strong>,\u00a0Aglianico<\/strong>, and\u00a0Nero di Troia<\/strong>, while there are also significant productions of a\u00a0Bombino Bianco<\/strong>-based white wine and a ros\u00e9 from\u00a0Bombino Nero.<\/strong><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.italysfinestwines.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/giancarlo-ceci.jpg\")
