Cantina Petrelli

Family Tradition and Passion for Wine in the Heart of Salento.

Cantina Petrelli is a family-run farm located between the Ionian and Adriatic seas in the heart of Salento. Decades of passion and three generations of winemakers have transformed this estate into a symbol of winemaking excellence, thanks to the love for the land and wine by founder Paolo Petrelli and his successors Giovanni and Chiara, the third-generation winemaker. The winery is exclusively dedicated to the production of wine grapes on lands converted from tobacco cultivation since the early 1970s.
