In Carosino, a town in the province of Taranto, the Fontana del Vino one of the main historical monuments. In front of the Palazzo Ducale and located in the center of the quadrangular square.

The ornamental fountain, commonly known as the “Fontana del Vino”was inaugurated in December 1894.

The aforementioned fountain, soon recognized by most as the Fountain from which wine flows, soon became an element of identity of Carosino.

A key symbol of the famous end-of-summer initiative of the Sagra del Vino, the Fontana has allowed, uninterruptedly since the first half of the 1960s, the Primitivo wine to flow from its taps, temporarily replacing the normal flow of water.

Hence the name Zampillato
