PODERE DON CATALDO:
FIVE GENERATIONS
OF PASSION
FOR SALENTO
OUR WINES
TERROIR
Under the warm sun and the sea breezes from the Ionic coast, healthy and strong vines grow vigorously.
Here the soil is mainly medium textured, clayey-calcareous and in some parts even tufaceous.
The suitable mediterranean climate with mild winters and hot windy dry summers, allow Podere Don Cataldo’s grapes to ripen constantly properly.
VINES
Greatest expression of this fertile and generous land are the main autochthonous red varieties of Apulia region here grown: Negroamaro, Primitivo, Nero di Troia and Susumaniello. The international and well known Merlot and Syrah are the setting for white grape varieties such as Chardonnay and Vermentino. Mitigating sea influence, deep passion in managing the fields together with meticulous grapes selection, lead to constant production with excellent quality level.
THE MASSERIA
The suggestive Masseria rises in the middle of vineyards and secular olive trees, enhancing Rocca family property. Renovated in compliance with the typical architectural features of Salento’s rural tradition, it shows sumptuous star and barrel vaults with skilful use of “pietra leccese”, the authentic local white stone from Lecce.
An enchanting place which becomes perfect synthesis of the most valuable southern Italy values: conviviality, tradition and hospitality.
Podere Don Cataldo brings the winemaking traditions of the area into the new millenium. The main export product is not only wine, but a unique tradition capable of win over every heart and palate all over the world. From the Salentian countryside with its expances of centuries olive trees, to the crystalline waters of the Ionian Coast: Podere Don Cataldo smells like Puglia.
