Paolo Leo's Salice Salentino vineyard includes 4 hectares of interplanted Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera vines, all trained using the typical "Alberello Pugliese" method (free-standing bush training) . The vineyard lies near the town of Salice Salentino, about 9km from the Ionion Sea. Capable of producing high quality wines and considered a very active and dynamic company, the Paolo Leo winery is well known for its quality range of wines which it produces wines for everyone to enjoy.
Jane MacQuitty, The Times, 26th November 2022: "One and the same as zinfandel, this mouth-filling Puglian primitivo, made from dried appassimento grapes, is a good festive-food friendly standby. Carlomagno is a bold, yet easy-quaffing, juicy, chocolate and black cherry-spiced joy, part aged in French and American oak barriques." Brian Elliott, Daily Record, 2020 "While buying groceries online is commonplace now, there seems more reluctance to buy wine that way. That’s a pity because wine like this excellent primitivo could so easily be speeding its way to your door. By using appassimento techniques (drying grapes before fermentation) it provides rich, dense red wine with ripe plum and blackberry fruit, smooth tannin, touches of tarragon, allspice and chocolate but an edge of sweetness too."
