Cellar
It is no less than three generations (since 1921) that the Varvaglione winery has established itself as one of the most outstanding wineries in the Apulian wine scene.
In this historic company located in Leporano, in the province of Taranto, within the territory known as Salento, experience and tradition have found full synergy over time through the use of the most advanced winemaking technology and great attention to the needs of the market.
Today, the Varvaglione 1921 brand is recognised in the national and international markets and is supported by a prestigious list of wines that have won numerous prizes and awards.
The focus of the Taranto-based company is on local wine varieties such as: Primitivo di Manduria, Negroamaro, Malvasia and Aglianico from red grapes, Verdeca, Falanghina, Malvasia and Fiano from white grapes. Furthermore, as far as international grape varieties are concerned, the winery vinifies Chardonnay respecting the characteristics of the Salento territory. Varvaglione 1921 represents one of the oldest and most award-winning wineries in southern Italy. In 2011, it celebrated its 90th anniversary by launching a prestigious wine called 'Papale'. Varvaglione 1921 is now present in more than 36 countries around the world and bases its wine production on more than 120 hectares of land dedicated to the cultivation of Varvaglione 1921 brand wines.
