CANDIDO WINES
Salento in a glass
Organic grapes, passion, and love for the land. A century of Salento history and the art of producing excellent Apulian wines.
Wine Collection 2024
A year of intense aromas and generous emotions, ready to tell its story through 17 labels, 6 D.O.C. and 11 I.G.T., with all the quality and personality of the best native varietals such as Negroamaro, Primitivo, black and white Malvasia, Susumaniello, Verdeca and Aleatico.
Wine is a project when it is conceived. And an emotion when it is in the glass. From its conception to the moment of realization - true, real, important - no less than eight years pass, rising to thirteen if we are talking about a 'Riserva'. So it is really exciting when you finally encounter it in the glass. It takes sacrifice on a human, personal, and economic level. But it also gives a lot of pleasure, because in the end there is the recognition involved in being behind the bottle.

PHILOSOPHY
Wine made in the vineyard
For us, wine is a process that begins in the vineyard with respect for the land, knowledge of plants, and the ability to respond wisely to prevailing climatic conditions.
This is our essence.
The rest follows on from here, but the point of departure is always the same.
THE VINEYARDS
D.O.C. Salice Salentino, the cradle of excellence
Our vineyards extend over 110 hectares in the Salice Salentino D.O.C. region, lying between the provinces of Lecce and Brindisi. They all adhere to organic growing principles, following slow and positive practices in the name of sustainability. The reward comes in the form of quality grapes which are rich in intense aromas – a prized bounty from nature, to which we owe everything we are.
