The story
The winery's history is tied to the historic vineyards of Salento: the union of the Vallone and De Marco holdings and the subsequent acquisition of the Castel Serranova estate shaped the current production project. Over the years the winery has experimented with techniques such as grape drying, which led to the creation of the celebrated Graticciaia.
Production philosophy
Focused on promoting Salento's native grape varieties, the estate aims to accurately express the characteristics of its vineyards and varieties, maintaining a family-run, artisanal approach while remaining open to winemaking innovation.
Terroir and vineyards
Production takes place across three estates in the heart of Salento, with vineyards planted on a variety of soils, combining areas close to the Torre Guaceto nature reserve and historic plots such as Caragnuli, from which the grapes for Graticciaia are sourced.
