Our history

Petrelli winery starts its history in 1984 with Paolo Petrelli, that  turns his passion in business.

thanks to his experience in winemaking he easly realizes high quality wines.

In 2000 is Giovanni, his son who takes over, after his degree in Agriculture and after a lot of masters in many prestigious italian schools, he brings innovation on processing grapes, a great care on working the wineyards and in all the agriculture process, too.

To guarantee the best quality ever all the wines are made only with the grapes coming form our 15 hectares of our winery.

Maurizio Petrelli, Giovanni's brother, is the manager.


WHO WE ARE: THE EVOLUTION OF THE TASTE

Purity and love are the strongest ingredients  that never left our winery, that harvested, year by year, more and more grapes.

Starting with the 50 hl in  1984, when Paolo Petrelli started his business, up to now approximately 500 hl
The production follows the idea of “agricuotura integrata”, with a splash of technology, brought by Giovanni and Maurizio, Paolo’s sons.

It’s a great pleasure for us to invite you to come and visit us: the place is comfortable, come and visit the vineyards, the processing line and in the ‘900 old stable we built the tasting room in which you can enjoy all our wines.
Taste to trust!

The first wine produced is “CAVARLETTA”  Salento igt rosée, negroamaro and black malvasia, fruity, harmonic and delicate, enjoy it with starters, fish dishes, white meats, onions cream, fresh ricotta cheese, pizza and one typical “pepata di cozze”.

In 1994  with Cavarletta we created the LUNA SARACENA Salento igt white, it started to be appreciated so much that we started with 3.000 bottles, it’s fiano and greco, very fresh, it reaches its perfection with fresh starters, fish salads, cheeses with herb and a delicate risotto with asparagus.


DON PEPE is an extraordinary red, born in 1998 by a lucky marriage of grapes.
