Leone de Castris dates from 1665, when Duke Oronzo, the Earl of Lemos, became so enchanted by the landscape of Salice Salentino, in Pugilia, that he sold all his property in Spain and moved to southern Italy; he planted vines, olive trees, and wheat throughout the region and inspired a family tradition that continues to this day. This Salice Salentino is a 90/10 blend of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera; aged six months in French oak, it has a nose of plums, black fruit, and blackberry jam and is rich and full-bodied on the palate with smooth, well-integrated tannins.
