AZIENDA VITIVINICOLA FRANCESCO CANDIDO SPA

In San Donaci, in the Salento area of Lecce and Brindisi provinces, the Francesco Candido winery cultivates seventy hectares managed organically within the Salice Salentino DOC. The philosophy of the house centers on respect for the soil and knowledge of the plants, with slow practices calibrated to the conditions of the southern climate. This approach yields grapes with intense aromas, which Negroamaro translates into structured reds and benchmark rosés for the denomination. Here, sustainability is not a label but a daily method, a relationship of constant attention to the land that precedes every cellar choice. The result is a range that speaks the language of Salento without forcing, rooted in a grape variety that is the main voice of this territory. The estate opens its doors to visitors: a stop in San Donaci allows one to walk through the organic vineyards and taste on-site the red and rosé Negroamaro wines born from this corner of Puglia.
