Winery
"Feudi Salentini" is a clear reference to Feudalism, when Carriages and Castles, Ladies and Knights were the protagonists of the magnificent panorama of this enchanted land where wine was considered the most prestigious and healthy drink.
Cosimo and Maria Teresa Varvaglione, with a team of young collaborators, every day write a story made of quality and love for this land. Vines cultivated as alberello, grapes harvested by hand as in the past, ancient knowledge handed down over time...
In the winery, ancient traditions and modern technologies transform extraordinary grapes into excellent wines. Feudi Salentini was established in 1994 in Leporano in one of the most beautiful areas of Salento, surrounded by vineyards, ancient olive trees and a crystal clear sea. We believe that the quality expressed in a wine can become the symbol of a territory, of a history that repeats itself, of a passion long generations. These awards give energy to a young and motivated group led by Cosimo and Maria Teresa Varvaglione.
