Their large holdings produce a wide range of wines, all of which are very reliable, if not excellent in quality and value. The estate is situated on lands of ancient vine growing and wine making tradition in Salento in Puglia. Salento is located on the heel?of the boot that we geographically know as Italy. The soils are renowned for their content of clay and tufo which support the many varietals that are grown in this part of Italy?s south.

This is akin to many European operations that have always managed their holdings in this natural manner. The vineyards are cared for using organic practices such as the placement of natural fertilizer around the vines and intra-vigna growth of grasses to cut down on any troublesome weeds. Aggressive pruning in the vineyards is practiced to reduce any biological interference with the grape?s growth. This ranges from insect infestation to skin rusts. Thus, the vines are aggressively pruned back and the harvest of grapes is highly selective. The production facility at the famed winery is ultra modern and the winery now turns out award -winning wines year in and year out. They also bring to the market, as part of their line, some of the most outstanding values available from any Italian producer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_drink_fbb5b570-decc-4e04-802d-57d23e1aa7cf.jpg?113\" alt=\"Drink\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Drink Now\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_food.gif?113\" alt=\"Foods\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Grilled Meat, Beef\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_dryness.gif?113\" alt=\"Dryness\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Dry\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_body.gif?113\" alt=\"Body\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Medium Bodied\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_colour.gif?113\" alt=\"Colour\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Dark Plum\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_grapes.gif?113\" alt=\"Grapes\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Primitivo\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_region.gif?113\" alt=\"Region\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Puglia, Italy\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_producer.gif?113\" alt=\"Producer\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Leone de Castris\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/product_icons_vintage.gif?113\" alt=\"Vintage\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e 2017\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/files\/sulphites_0ab734f9-50cc-46cc-a01a-27564467f9c2.jpg?113\" alt=\"Sulphites\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e Contains Sulphites\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2019-02-05T12:25:52+00:00","created_at":"2019-02-05T12:25:53+00:00","vendor":"Christopher Piper Wines","type":"Food, Beverages \u0026 Tobacco \u003e Beverages","tags":["Digital Goods VAT Tax","Puglia - Italy (Red Wine)"],"price":1217,"price_min":1217,"price_max":1217,"available":true,"price_varies":false,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":19614931288152,"title":"Default Title","option1":"Default Title","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Il Medaglione Salento Primitivo 2017","public_title":null,"options":["Default Title"],"price":1217,"weight":1000,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_management":"shopify","barcode":""}],"images":["\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/products\/A104617_d379e781-94c0-4b13-be2d-b3630e111f85.jpg?v=1549637481"],"featured_image":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/0066\/9016\/products\/A104617_d379e781-94c0-4b13-be2d-b3630e111f85.jpg?v=1549637481","options":["Title"],"content":"\u003cp\u003eBeautiful colour, lots of spice on the nose (think Christmas cake) and lovely rich mouthfeel.

The estate was founded in 1665 by Duke Oronzo, Earl of Lemos. After being enchanted by the landscape of Puglia he decided to sell all his properties in Spain, and dedicated himself to making great wine from the rich terroir of Salento. He began by planting new vines, olive trees and wheat on the 5,000 hectares of property which spanned Salice, Guagnano, Veglie, Villa Baldassarri, Novoli and San Pancrazio. 'Five Roses', the now famous rosǸ made by Leone de Castris, was first produced in 1943, and was the first rosato to be bottled in Italy. Its name comes from a 'contrada', belonging to the family, so called, because for several generations each de Castris had five children. During the 1960s, the direction of the company was in the hands of Cavaliere del Lavoro Salvatore Leone de Castris, and thanks to his efforts the winery developed both locally and internationally. The philosophy of continuous improvement is now driven on by his son, Piernicola Leone de Castris, who has been Managing Director since the late 1990s.
