Food and wine tasting in Salento at Duca Carlo Guarini

They have a lot to tell, so many stories handed down, many historical figures who have been connected to the family, in the past they even hosted kings and saints, but the story that they like telling the most is the one that binds them to the earth: they have been cultivating it for almost thousand years, seeing themselves as farmers and thus, guardians of the Apulian agricultural heritage. The wines, oils, cereals, legumes and preserves thet produce reflect the character of the territory and tell of sun, sea, land, passion, history, elegance, culture and hospitality.

Accardo Guarini, Count of Valesio, in 1114 cultivated his vineyard in the Pìutri estate, overlooking the Adriatic sea between Lecce and Brindisi. Since then and for a lucky fate, we, the Guarini family continue to take care of those vineyards that are still rooted in the same wonderful Salento, respecting the traditions, without sacrificing innovation.
