Paololeo was destined to produce wine from the Masseria Monticello family vineyards. What he probably did not expect at the beginning, in the early nineties, was probably to become one of the most important realities of Salento. One of the most beautiful areas of southern Italy, is constantly whipped by both the warm winds of sirocco and the cold ones of tramontana, creating major thermal changes that contribute to the quality and aromatic variety of grapes produced here. Located right in the heart of the DOC Salice Salentino, more precisely in the town of San Donati, the Paololeo winery can count on 25 hectares of vineyards and a family run run with passion led by the heir of the same name, Paololeo. Primitivo Arcaia Petra is a wine of excellent structure and body, of important alcoholic content and intense bouquet, lingers long in the mouth recalling the ripe fruit under the sun of Salento. Primitivo Paololeo has an intense ruby red color and intense aromas of cherry and ripe cherries, with notes of chocolate and coconut. The palate is important and balanced, consisting of tannins well enveloping and balanced. Ideal with roasts, game and wild mushrooms. To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a serving temperature of 14/16 ºC.
