Aperitour at Cantine Paololeo
Here is what's in store for you
Discover the soul of Salento through a unique wine experience at Cantine Paololeo, a historic family-run winery nestled in the heart of Puglia.
Your journey begins with a guided walk through sun-kissed vineyards and along dry-stone walls that speak of centuries of tradition. You'll then explore the old Palmento from 1940, a rare and evocative location where winemaking once took place using ancestral methods. As you discover the winery’s history and values, you’ll understand how each bottle reflects a deep connection to this land, to time, and passion.
The tasting features three emblematic wines:
Minutolo: Fresh and aromatic, reminiscent of the breeze that sweeps through Valle d’Itria.
Rosamora: A delicate and elegant rosé made from Malvasia Nera, evoking the softness of summer memories.
Passo del Cardinale: A powerful and expressive Primitivo di Manduria, symbol of the region's identity.
The experience ends with an authentic Apulian aperitivo featuring local delicacies such as pizzi salentini, capocollo di Martina Franca, burratine, and other traditional flavors — best enjoyed outdoors, under the warm southern sky.
This immersive experience is designed to engage all your senses, through stories, aromas, and unforgettable tastes.
