Salento Wines : Key Points

The Salento PGI benefits from a year-round Mediterranean climate and the influence of protective sea winds. The appellation is characterised by the presence of clay soils. The production area of IGP Salento extends over the provinces of Brindisi, Lecce and Taranto.

The Salento peninsula is the preferred location for the Negroamaro grape, a black varietal that produces dark-coloured, powerful, complex and fruity red wines. Red wines can be made from international varieties such as Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Merlot and Petit Verdot, or from native and local varieties. Varieties such as Aglianioco, Aleatico, Piedirosso, Barbera, Bombino Nero, Malvasia Nera, Primitivo, Sangiovese, Nero di Troia and the rare Susumaniello are used in varietal wines or in blends.

IGP Salento also produces white wines from international varieties such as Chardonnay, Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling. There are also many Italian varieties such as Bianco di Alessano, Bombino Bianco, Falanghina, Fiano, Greco, Impigno and Malvasia. IGP Salento also stands out for the production of rosé wines, sparkling wines and dessert wines with a sweet taste.
