Cellar

The PaoloLeo winery is divided into two wine cellars, the first is located in the heart of Salice Salentino DOC (San Donaci) the second, inaugurated in'August 2020, is at the gateway to Primitivo di Manduria DOC (Monteparano). The winery is flanked by an agricultural company that owns more than 70 hectares and an ancient 16th century farmhouse surrounded by vineyards. Paolo Leo, born in 1960, was born into a family where producing wine was an unavoidable inheritance; and today it is still an heir, the eponymous Paolo Leo, Nicola's son, who runs the new winery, together with his wife Roberta and sons Nicola, Stefano, Francesco and Alessandro, flanked by loyal collaborators. The company has been present on the Apulian and international market for years, and has always operated with respect for the environment and its territory rich in tradition and history. Vines are grown on predominantly clayey-calcareous soil, with sandier areas and others with emerging rock, with a mild climate that has made Salento, a fertile sub-region of the Puglia region, which bases its economy on agriculture.

Description

Orfeo is an Apulian red wine from the Paololeo winery made from Negroamaro grapes. Negroamaro is considered the most famous of Salento's indigenous grape varieties and narrates the identity of Salento through its structure, persistence and charm. Its decisive and rustic character makes it a red wine with a persuasive sip.

Organoleptic characteristics: 

Ruby red colour with garnet hues. The nose is ample and of great elegance. Spicy notes fade into jammy fruits. Orange peels dipped in dark chocolate are a more than surprising treat. Blackberries, mulberries and raspberries are a juicy, summery touch. The finish is reminiscent of cocoa with small notes of cappuccino. The sip is decidedly rich and full. The particularly soft and enveloping tannin creates a balance of the senses in perfect harmony. The long, persistent finish masterfully satisfies all the senses.

Storage time: 

5-6 years

Vinification 

After the harvest, the grapes are destemmed and the crushed grapes ferment in steel at a controlled temperature of 25 °C for 8-10 days. Maceration on the skins lasts 12-15 days, with careful pumping over and final soft pressing of the marc.
