Le Vigne di Sammarco S.R.L.
The Rizzello family has 180 hectares in Italy’s “heel” at Cellino San Marco in the heart of Puglia, between Brindisi and Lecce. Old bush vines are farmed in a traditional manner. The peninsula is surrounded by seas – the Adriatic Sea and Strait of Otranto on one side and the Gulf of Taranto and Ionian Sea on the other. This is a rural agricultural region with olive groves, figs, orange trees as well as vineyards. Puglia has a dry climate and benefits from sea breezes and an underground network of watercourses flowing through the limestone bedrock. Wines produced are rich and high in alcohol with sweet berry fruits.
