Producer: Cantina Sampietrana, San Pietro Vernotico
True to tradition, yet always in tune with the times: Cantina Sociale Sampietrana was founded in 1952 through the union of enthusiastic and motivated winegrowers in and around San Pietro Vernotico, a small historic town between Brindisi and Lecce. The winegrowing families shared the vision of transforming their sun-kissed grapes into aromatic wines and bringing them directly to the market. By joining forces, they created a winery that has always moved with the times. Today, thanks to high production standards, a clear quality philosophy and technologically well-equipped cellars, flavourful wines are produced from southern Italian classics such as Primitivo, Negroamaro and Susumaniello. These characterful southern Italian wines reflect the diversity of the terroir and the Mediterranean character of the region.
