Leone de Castris

Falstaff Wine Guide Italy 2026

Founded in 1665, Cantina Leone de Castris is located in Salice Salentino. The first bottled wine was launched on the market in 1925. In 1943, the first Italian rosé wine, Five Roses, was produced here. Rosso Salice Salentino followed in 1954 and became a DOC wine in the early 1970s. The winery has a diverse range of products, from white and rosé wines to red wines, including of course the classics Salice Salentino and Primitivo di Manduria. The winery, which is one of the best in the region, also produces a sparkling wine. The annual production totals 1.8 million bottles.
