Il vino dei Monti Dauni si chiama Cacc’e Mmitte che significa “Togli e metti”. Pare che il nome di questo vino rosso derivi dall’usanza di spillarlo direttamente dalla botte e versarlo nel bicchiere. Il territorio della Denominazione di Origine Protetta comprende tre paesi dell’area dei Monti Dauni, come viene definita l’ultima propaggine dell’Appennino conosciuto anche come Subappennino Dauno.
Il primo, quello da cui la DOP Cacc’e Mmitte prende il nome, è Lucera, città dal grande passato. Se Castel del Monte fu per Federico II l’emblema della corona imperiale, il maniero di Gravina il suo giardino di delizie, il castello di Gioia del Colle testimone del suo amore per Bianca Lancia, il palazzo imperiale di Lucera rappresentò la sua roccaforte, difesa dai saraceni, sue predilette guardie del corpo.
Infatti, nella “Luceria Saracenorum”, come si chiamava nel Medioevo, fece giungere gli arabi dalla Sicilia, dando loro la possibilità di autogovernarsi, erigendo moschee e usando la loro lingua e i loro costumi. Tutto fu, poi, cancellato dagli Angioini che distrussero il castello dello Svevo, sostituendolo con la loro fortezza dalle alte mura e dalle torri circolari. La grande moschea fu trasformata in cattedrale dalle forme gotiche, come quelle della chiesa dedicata a San Francesco Antonio Fasani, il minore conventuale che Giovanni Paolo II fece santo nel 1985.
Nel settecentesco Palazzo Cavalli Nicastri sono conservate le testimonianze archeologiche a partire dal Neolitico, mentre simbolo della Lucera romana è il grande anfiteatro fatto costruire dal magistrato Marco Vecilio Campo in onore di Ottaviano Augusto. Una chicca si trova nel Palazzo Mozzagrugno, sede della Casa Comunale: il piccolo Teatro Garibaldi decorato da artisti napoletani che ispirarono gli stucchi del Politeama Petruzzelli.
Da Lucera, oggi famosa per olio e vino e per la coltivazione del peperone dal caratteristico corno a tre punte, non è lontana Troia, con la sua splendida Cattedrale dedicata a Santa Maria Assunta. Un vero capolavoro in stile romanico dell’XI secolo con il suo rosone unico al mondo dagli 11 raggi che sembra una finissima trina ricamata nella pietra e incastonata in una facciata in cui spiccano le due porte di bronzo di Oderisio da Benevento: la Porta della Prosperità e la Porta della Libertà. Fiore all’occhiello del Museo del Tesoro della Cattedrale sono i 3 Exultet, rotoli di pergamena dell’XI e XII secolo in cui sono vergate e miniate a mano verità teologiche.
Biccari completa questo giro del Subappennino Dauno. La cittadina presenta un centro storico ben tenuto con una caratteristica forma a fagiolo. Importante arteria di collegamento fra l’Irpinia e la Daunia sviluppa in alto la sua parte più antica e si raccoglie intorno alla Torre Bizantina. Passeggiando tra le strette stradine è impossibile resistere al profumo del pane e della Pizza a furn apijert De.Co. di antica tradizione biccarese, spennellata con olio e spolverata con aglio, origano, sale e peperoncino. Basta poi una passeggiata verso il Monte Cornacchia, il più alto di Puglia, e il lago Pescara per smaltire percorrendo i sentieri attrezzati per il trekking e quelli del Parco Avventura.

We firmly believe that the internet should be available and accessible to anyone, and are committed to providing a website that is accessible to the widest possible audience, regardless of circumstance and ability.
To fulfill this, we aim to adhere as strictly as possible to the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C) Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.1 (WCAG 2.1) at the AA level. These guidelines explain how to make web content accessible to people with a wide array of disabilities. Complying with those guidelines helps us ensure that the website is accessible to all people: blind people, people with motor impairments, visual impairment, cognitive disabilities, and more.
This website utilizes various technologies that are meant to make it as accessible as possible at all times. We utilize an accessibility interface that allows persons with specific disabilities to adjust the website’s UI (user interface) and design it to their personal needs.
Additionally, the website utilizes an AI-based application that runs in the background and optimizes its accessibility level constantly. This application remediates the website’s HTML, adapts Its functionality and behavior for screen-readers used by the blind users, and for keyboard functions used by individuals with motor impairments.
If you’ve found a malfunction or have ideas for improvement, we’ll be happy to hear from you. You can reach out to the website’s operators by using the following email
Our website implements the ARIA attributes (Accessible Rich Internet Applications) technique, alongside various different behavioral changes, to ensure blind users visiting with screen-readers are able to read, comprehend, and enjoy the website’s functions. As soon as a user with a screen-reader enters your site, they immediately receive a prompt to enter the Screen-Reader Profile so they can browse and operate your site effectively. Here’s how our website covers some of the most important screen-reader requirements, alongside console screenshots of code examples:
Screen-reader optimization: we run a background process that learns the website’s components from top to bottom, to ensure ongoing compliance even when updating the website. In this process, we provide screen-readers with meaningful data using the ARIA set of attributes. For example, we provide accurate form labels; descriptions for actionable icons (social media icons, search icons, cart icons, etc.); validation guidance for form inputs; element roles such as buttons, menus, modal dialogues (popups), and others. Additionally, the background process scans all the website’s images and provides an accurate and meaningful image-object-recognition-based description as an ALT (alternate text) tag for images that are not described. It will also extract texts that are embedded within the image, using an OCR (optical character recognition) technology. To turn on screen-reader adjustments at any time, users need only to press the Alt+1 keyboard combination. Screen-reader users also get automatic announcements to turn the Screen-reader mode on as soon as they enter the website.
These adjustments are compatible with all popular screen readers, including JAWS and NVDA.
Keyboard navigation optimization: The background process also adjusts the website’s HTML, and adds various behaviors using JavaScript code to make the website operable by the keyboard. This includes the ability to navigate the website using the Tab and Shift+Tab keys, operate dropdowns with the arrow keys, close them with Esc, trigger buttons and links using the Enter key, navigate between radio and checkbox elements using the arrow keys, and fill them in with the Spacebar or Enter key.Additionally, keyboard users will find quick-navigation and content-skip menus, available at any time by clicking Alt+1, or as the first elements of the site while navigating with the keyboard. The background process also handles triggered popups by moving the keyboard focus towards them as soon as they appear, and not allow the focus drift outside it.
Users can also use shortcuts such as “M” (menus), “H” (headings), “F” (forms), “B” (buttons), and “G” (graphics) to jump to specific elements.
We aim to support the widest array of browsers and assistive technologies as possible, so our users can choose the best fitting tools for them, with as few limitations as possible. Therefore, we have worked very hard to be able to support all major systems that comprise over 95% of the user market share including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Apple Safari, Opera and Microsoft Edge, JAWS and NVDA (screen readers).
Despite our very best efforts to allow anybody to adjust the website to their needs. There may still be pages or sections that are not fully accessible, are in the process of becoming accessible, or are lacking an adequate technological solution to make them accessible. Still, we are continually improving our accessibility, adding, updating and improving its options and features, and developing and adopting new technologies. All this is meant to reach the optimal level of accessibility, following technological advancements. For any assistance, please reach out to
