At Wine Affairs, a distinguished wine distributor located in the Upper West Side of Manhattan, NY, we take pride in bringing unique and sustainable wines to our clientele. One such gem in our portfolio is Cantine Paololeo, located in the heart of Salento, a sub-region of Puglia renowned for its distinctive terroir and excellent wine-producing conditions.
Salento's Rich Terroir
Salento's terrain is predominantly calcareous clay with areas of sandy soils and exposed rock, creating an ideal environment for viticulture. The mild climate, influenced by the Adriatic coast's cool Tramontana winds and the Ionian side's warm breezes from the south, fosters a unique microclimate. This diurnal temperature variation—cooler nights following warm days—is crucial for developing the grapes' complexity and balance, enhancing the quality of the wines produced.
This diverse environment enables vines in Salento to thrive, producing grapes that reflect the region’s rich geological and climatic tapestry. The result is wines that are not only expressive of their origin but also maintain high standards of quality and sustainability.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Excellence
Paololeo’s dedication to sustainable and organic winemaking practices is evident in every bottle. As stewards of the land, they ensure that their cultivation methods honor and preserve the natural beauty and fertility of Salento, contributing to the sustainability of the region’s wine industry.
