The long history of vine growing in Salento is of course connected to the particular pedoclimatic conditions of the area which make of this peninsula the perfect land for the production of great wines. The climate is maritime, with scarce and irregular rains and with sea breezes which mitigate the hot summer, make the winter milder and shorten the spring and autumn seasons. The average temperature all year round is 16-17°, with maximum temperatures reaching 38-40° and minimum 2-7°. The soil, mainly calcareous and clayey with sandy and tuff areas, creates the ideal conditions for the cultivation of vines producing strong, generous and warm wines with broad and persistent perfumes.

The history of wine here is strongly connected to soil, climate, vines and people. Therefore the unique identity of this land, product of different influences, constant technical and cultural exchanges, is also reflected in its traditional vines, in the cultivation systems and of course in its wines.
