Producer

Cantine Paolo Leo

Paolo Leo founded his Salento winery in 1989, situated in San Donaci, between Lecce and Brindisi, inside the Negroamaro Park. It is one of the leading Puglian wineries, renowned for its production of native varietals such as Primitivo and Negroamaro, and remains in the hands of the founding family.

Tasting Notes

Straw yellow shot with green; very full and intensely fruity on the nose with exotic fruit such as melon and banana, featuring hints of citrus reminiscent of grapefruit. On the palate it is very well balanced, with a good acidity backbone and length.

Food Matches

A superb accompaniment to shellfish, fish and seafood. Pair also with white meat and cheese.

Vinification

The harvest is at night in order to preserve the freshness of the fruit, and in boxes of 5 kilos to store the integrity of the product. The pressing follows a cold maceration of the skins for 6-8 hours to extract as much of the flavour from the grape. Followed by soft pressing, static clarificatio of the must and fermentation. The fermentation process lasts 10-12 days at a temperature of 16-17°C. After fermentation, aging of the lees in stainless steel for 3 months.
