Tenute Chiaromonte is in Acquaviva delle Fonti, in Puglia. The estate's history begins in 1826 with a small winemaking business that was passed down through the generations. Nicola Chiaromonte, the last descendant of the family, took it over in 1998.
They farm organically. The main grapes are Primitivo and Fiano Minutolo, and the Primitivo comes from limited production. Centuries-old olive trees grow on the estate too, and the winery makes an extra virgin olive oil from them.
