In the province of Lecce, Puglia, the compact municipality of Sternatia, home to just over 2,000 residents, acts as a crucible for distinctive flavors.

This very soil also cultivates the robust grapes for Salento IGT wines and the characterful Negroamaro di Terra d'Otranto DOC, a red varietal embodying the region's viticultural identity. Overall, Sternatia proudly contributes to 11 protected denominations, each a testament to its unique agricultural heritage.
