“50th Vendemmia” Salice Salentino Rosso Riserva DOC
Leone de Castris specializes in traditional wines. This exceptional wine commemorates the winery’s
50th anniversary vintage, or “vendemmia,” which has been featured on the label since 2004. This wine
is made from hand-harvested, select grapes from the Salice Salentino DOC, a picturesque wine region
dotted with ancient watchtowers and old farmhouses, just north of the village of Lecce.
