Overview

Castel di Salve is one of Puglia's historic wineries, founded in 1885 in Depressa by Antonio Winspeare, Duke of Salve with the goal of producting quality table wines. Now the winery is runed by the 4th and 5th generation of the Winspeare family. Strong and proud of the ancestors tradition, we still continue to work the same land today, to produce wines of character that are clean and elegant at the same time.

The bulk of our agricultural work takes place in the historic family estate "Masseria Bosco Belvedere", located in the geographical center of the lower Salento. The focus is on the native grapes of Salento like Verdeca, Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera di Lecce and Primitivo. Furthermore we also cultivate another small vineyard in Depressa and other sites in the lower Salento, for a total of about 31 hectares of vineyards.

What to expect

We'll take you on a tour of our old winery, Castel di Salve, a boutique family-run estate farming grapes and producing fine wines since 1885. You'll visit all production areas and learn about winemaking techniques and traditions: you'll learn about vine-growing down at the vineyard, then about winemaking and aging processes in the cellar.
After the tour, we'll guide you into a tasting of 5 different wines from our production, which we'll chose depending on the season and availability.
We'll be open to answer your questions and ready to make you have a good time at our place.
