The Rizzello family owns 200 hectares of land,
of which 120 are bred with the sapling and espalier system.
The remaining part will be planted, seeking the uniqueness of the Salento territory and enhancing ancient native vines such as
Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera, Malvasia Bianca, Susumaniello and Primitivo.
The practice of a clean and sustainable agriculture is a goal that we pursue daily.

THE WINES
The persuasive tone of Negroamaro, the decisive cadence of Primitivo,
the ancestral echo of Malvasia Nera, the lively chatter of Susumaniello…
Each vine is a nuance of the voice of this land. It is the harsh and wild voice of the syncopated songs of Salento,
which knows how to be sweet and caressing with those who listen to it carefully and with respect.
