Punta Fieno is one of the few unspoiled places on the island of Ponza. The difficult access by land (40 minutes on foot along a mule track in the middle of the Mediterranean scrub) a non-existent landing by sea, which consists in jumping from the boat on the rocks, have preserved this place from mass tourism. The old Ponza farmers used to go there every morning at dawn to cultivate the vineyards, but today there are very few left: Luigino, Giustino, uncle Aniello and Liberato. To this small group was added Emanuele Vittorio, Neapolitan dentist, son of Civita Migliaccio, but above all grandson of Benedetto Migliaccio, one of the founders of Hay.
When in 1734 Charles of Bourbon colonized the island by assigning various plots of land to the Neapolitan settlers in "perpetual emphyteusis", he assigned to Pietro Migliaccio, coming from Ischia, the area of the Hay, which, unlike others that were defined "Or" uncultivated ", was already" vito ".
Pietro Migliaccio brought the typical vines from Ischia: Biancolella, Forastera, Guarnaccia, Aglianico and Piedirosso, and these are the ancient ungrafted vines that Emanuele Vittorio, nephew of Benedetto Migliaccio, has brought back to life, saving them from the scrubs that had already invaded the rows.
Emanuele Vittorio, together with his wife Luciana Sabino, gave life in 2000 to the "Antiche Cantine Migliaccio" farm which, preserving the ancient traditions but using modern wine making techniques, making use for some years of the professionalism of the oenologist Vincenzo Mercurio, produces wines that we can define as “unique”, thanks to the pedoclimatic conditions of this magical place.
