Salice Salentino Rosso Riserva DOC 50th Vendemmia 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.

Villa Santera Primitivo di Manduria DOC Villa Santera is named after a historic villa, which belongs to the Leone de Castris family, located in the province of Taranto. The Primitivo di Manduria appellation is known for the production of bold and spicy reds. This wine is no exception, skillfully crafted from hand-picked grapes grown on very mature vines—40 years old on average. It is a concentrated and layered example of a true classic from Puglia.
