Leone de Castris

Falstaff Wine Guide Italy 2024

Founded in 1665, Cantina Leone de Castris is located in Salice Salentino and began bottling in 1925. In 1943, Five Roses was born, the first Italian rosé wine, which was immediately exported to the USA. Rosso Salice Salentino followed in 1954 and became a DOC wine in the early 1970s. The winery offers a diverse range of products; white, rosé and red wines with DOC (Salice Salentino, Primitivo di Manduria, Gioia del Colle Primitivo), IGT Salento and Apulia as well as white and rosé sparkling wines. The annual production is around 2.5 million bottles.
