Cantine Paololeo Estate

Paolo Leo, born in 1960, was born into a family where producing wine was an inevitable legacy; in the early 20th century, the forefather began to vinify his grapes in the Monticello Masseria, then his son Paolo Leo inherited the land and built the palmento (the first stone building used to produce wine) in the village.
The soil is predominantly calcareous-clay, with somere sandy areas and. This kind of soil together with the mild climate has made Salento, a sub-region of the Apulia region, a fertile region,perfect for grape production. The Adriatic coast is effected by the cold Tramontana wind, and the Ionian side by the warm winds of blowing from South-African, this difference in temperature between the two seas gives rise to a big varition between day and night time temperatures which is perfect for the production of quality grapes.
