Our winery's main goal is to produce great wines from this terroir, wines which faithfully and uncompromisingly reflect the unique qualities of their grape varieties and of the Salento. The Salento peninsula has always been prized for high quality, since it has always instilled in its wines and olive oils flavours and aromatic complexity that are as distinctive as they are recognisable. The wines mature slowly and patiently in the cellars, in both oak and steel, before they are judged worthy to appear in their various markets.
After bottling, they rest for still more time before being released from the cellar.
The reds exhibit significant potential for long-term improvement, but are enjoyable and harmonious already in their youth. The whites and rosés, crisp, refreshing, and fragrant, are especially well-suited to accompany lighter fare, such as fish and vegetable dishes, that are traditional in the summer. Agricole Vallone, as well as the other local wineries, are confident that their efforts testify to the correctness of the direction taken by Salento winemakers in the last twenty years to free themselves from the area's long-time image of a producer of excellent blending wines, and, instead, to win a reputation as producers of wines that will stand proudly on their own, with their terroir of origin plainly proclaimed on their labels, for all the world to see.
