Paolo Leo: Bringing Puglia’s Boldest Reds to Your Summer Table

This June, we’re spotlighting one of Puglia’s most exciting producers—Paolo Leo—with 15% off a selection of their standout reds. Whether you're firing up the BBQ or enjoying a relaxed evening, these wines deliver rich, sun-soaked flavours that capture the essence of southern Italy.

A Legacy Rooted in Salento

Paolo Leo's winemaking heritage dates back to the early 1900s in Masseria Monticello. Today, the family-run winery operates in San Donaci, at the heart of Salento, combining traditional methods with modern techniques across 50 hectares of vineyards, many of which are trained in the classic "alberello" style.
