Schau, wie süß.
This is how the sweet life tastes.
“This truly is the pure sweet life,” says Antonio Giuliano as he nibbles on a grape. Here in Apulia, on the vast fields of the renowned Giuliano family, nature treats the grapes exceptionally well.
For over 40 years, the most delicious white, red, and blue varieties have thrived here.
The family’s variety of grapes is legendary. Whether white, red, or dark, with seeds or seedless—there’s a suitable variety for every taste. To ensure even more sunlight reaches the fruits, the clusters per plant are reduced, allowing them to grow robustly.
The Giuliano’s fruits ripen for two to three weeks longer than usual. Naturally, pests are tackled primarily with natural predators.
With so much experience and dedication, the family’s grapes are wonderfully juicy-sweet and crunchy. Antonio can be proud of his work and that of his brothers: “The grapes growing here are a sweet greeting from Mother Nature—and, of course, from our family.”
Good to know
Always keep grapes well cooled and in a closed container.
