This ancient Puglian varietal is well adapted to the warm dry climate and frequent sea breezes of the Salento appellation. The Primitivo grown by Paolo Leo is bold yet structured resulting in a medium-bodied wine with smooth tannins and fruity flavour. Pair with cured meats, aged cheeses, roasts, and well-seasoned tomato-based sauces.

Located in the Salento region of Puglia and named after its founder, Cantine Paolo Leo officially began in 1989 after Paolo inherited the family land and constructed the Palmento (the village’s first stone building used for the production of wine specifically). While the opening of the Paolo Leo winery marked a new chapter for the family, their story and legacy in viticulture can be traced back to the early 20th Century in Monticello Masseria. This story and legacy have ultimately resulted in a philosophy driven by family, hard work, and a love for quality wines.  

Today this philosophy is upheld by Paolo and his wife Roberta as they prepare their eldest sons Nicola and Stefano to take over and lead the next generation of winegrowers. This makes them the perfect balance between traditional and modern as each generation stands to learn something from the other.
