The Passamante Salice Salentino from Masseria Li Veli represents Puglia's rich winemaking heritage with an exquisite blend of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera grapes. Deeply rooted in the traditions of the southern Italian landscape, this red wine reflects both the historical and cultural richness of the region. Situated on a historic site that was once a medieval structure, Masseria Li Veli has been transformed by the Falvo family into a modern winery that still bears the marks of its glorious past. The winery is committed to restoring and promoting native grape varieties under the ASKOΣ project, a tribute to the Greek origins of viticulture in the region.
