Cantina San Donaci

In Salento, facing the Ionian Arch, Cantina San Donaci encompasses two contiguous denominations, Brindisi DOC and Squinzano DOC, which share grape varieties and landscape. The distinctive feature lies upstream: grape selection is exclusively from alberello-trained vines, the low, ancient form that Puglia champions, and from there, a protocol that allows no shortcuts is followed. The resulting red wine rests for two years in barrique, building an articulated profile during that time – ripe red fruits, black spices, toasted notes – supported by discreet tannins that don't stiffen the palate. It's a wine designed for important meals, from aged cheeses to game, where body is needed but also balance. The encounter between the alberello training system and modern wood aging is how the winery brings together tradition and technique. Visitors to San Donaci can taste it on site and recognize both elements in the glass.
