The winery of the future: ideas and quality Made in Puglia
Easter is a time for joy and sharing, and choosing the right wines can make your table even more special. This year, we invite you to discover two oenological gems from Leone de Castris: the elegant 50° Vendemmia Salice Salentino DOC Riserva and the fresh and lively Messapia Verdeca.
Together, they create a perfect balance to accompany the different moments of your Easter lunch.
50° Vendemmia Salice Salentino Negroamaro DOC Riserva: Elegance and Tradition for Decisive Flavors
The 50° Vendemmia Salice Salentino Negroamaro DOC Riserva is a tribute to the history and passion of Salento. This Salice Salentino Riserva stands out for its enveloping structure and its complex aromas of ripe red fruit, sweet spices, and a balsamic hint. It is the ideal companion to enhance the intense flavors of traditional Easter dishes:
- Lamb, the heart of the celebration: Its richness and soft tannins blend harmoniously with roasted or stewed lamb, creating a satisfying taste balance.
- Flavorful first courses: Lasagna, cannelloni, or fresh pasta with meat ragù find a partner with character in the 50° Vendemmia, capable of supporting their complexity.
- Aged cheeses and typical cured meats: A platter of aged cheeses accompanied by local cured meats will be perfectly enhanced by the balsamic notes of the 50° Vendemmia Salice Salentino DOC Riserva.
Messapia Verdeca: Freshness and Vivacity to Welcome Spring at the Table
Messapia Verdeca embodies freshness, with its delicate aromas of white flowers, citrus fruits, and a pleasant sapidity. Its lively acidity and lightness make it perfect to accompany the more delicate moments of your lunch:
- Light and colorful appetizers: Frittatas with aromatic herbs, raw artichokes with vinaigrette, or spring salads will be enhanced by its fragrance and freshness.
- Delicate first courses based on vegetables or fish: Spring risottos, pasta with clams, or light vegetable-based preparations pair beautifully with its vivacity.
- Baked or grilled fish main courses: Its clean acidity and citrus notes elegantly match the delicacy of fish.
- An aperitif that announces the celebration: Its pleasantness and freshness make it an excellent choice for an initial toast.

Then continue with the structure and elegance of the 50° Vendemmia Salice Salentino Negroamaro DOC Riserva to accompany the more substantial dishes.
