Great experience! One of the highlight of our entire trip to Puglia. Delicious wines, very good snacks and a great guide explaining us in English about their wines. We had to pay upfront, so that information in Tripadvisor doesn't seem to be correct. We were running late because of our own fault but it was handled with flexibility by Cantine Paololeo. The entire experience is highly recommended by us.

Superlative experience. The winery guide as well as the wine tasting was without a doubt one of the best I have ever had. This is thanks to the professionalism, friendliness and empathy of Valentina and all the staff. Highly recommended.

My husband and I got a tour from Paola in English. Her passion for wine was certainly noticeable, she took all her time and spoke perfect English. She showed us all the steps and told great stories about the production and Paololeo's vision. The tasting was very pleasant with delicious wines, good explanations and in-depth information about the wines. The production building was in very good condition and beautifully designed! The store looked beautiful, where the old wine production has been creatively designed. A beautiful balance between tradition and moving with the times. Highly recommended!

A seguito di un regalo, mi sono recato con mi moglie per il tour presso le Cantine Paololeo di San Donaci. Mi sono accostato a questa esperienza con un po' di titubanza in quanto, pur consumando occasionalmente vino, non mi ritengo un esperto in grado di formulare giudizi tecnici da un punto di vista enologico. Ma mi sbagliavo...... Il voucher comprendeva una visita alle cantine ed una degustazione presso il punto vendita dell'azienda, ricavato nei locali storici della vecchia cantina. Accolti da Marco, sono riusciti subito a trasmetterci l'entusiasmo e la voglia di un'azienda a carattere familiare, dove Paolo Leo ha creato oltre 30 anni fa la storia di questa azienda. Una vera eccellenza con delle continue sfide per poter portare i nostri prodotti pugliesi in tutto il mondo. Tutto questo ha contribuito a creare per noi un'esperienza unica che sento di suggerire a tutti. Ringrazio ancora Marco e tutto il personale che ci ha accolto nel punto vendita per entrare nella fantasia e nella meraviglia degli aromi e delle fragranze dei prodotti Paololeo, dal Negroamaro allo Chardonnay, dal Primitivo al Salice Salentino. Certo di incontrare nuovamente le fantastiche persone conosciute in questa occasione, unitamente a Nicola Leo, figlio del titolare Paolo, ringrazio ancora questa azienda per tenere alto il nome della mia regione in merito alla produzione enologica. Ad Majora!

Aperitivo in enoteca con degustazione di prodotti tipici pugliesi e di vini locali. Molta attenzione da parte dei titolari

Essendo di passaggio nella zona decido di fare il percorso degustazione con visita più completo, percorso che inizia presso la sede con visita alla barricaia, breve spiegazione dei metodi di produzione e della storia della famiglia. La visita è continuata poi presso i vigneti limitrofi per poi finire con la degustazione presso il wine shop nel centro del paese. Abbiamo degustato 4 vini della gamma più alta, più un passito oltre all’olio di oliva prodotto dall’azienda, il tutto accompagnato da stuzzichini con prodotti pugliesi. La guida Alessandro è stata molto disponibile e preparata, visita consigliata, prodotti ottimi !

We hebben hier een heel leuke rondleiding en proeverij gedaan. De gids spreekt goed Engels. Uitgebreide uitleg en erg lekkere wijnen. De plek van de proeverij is smaakvol ingericht. De begeleidende hapjes waren goed verzorgd. Een erg leuke excursie al met al

Storditi dalla bellezza del salento e del suo mare, decidiamo di degustare anche il suo vino andando a visitare le cantine Paolo Leo. Si inizia con una escursione ai vicini vigneti guidati da Filomena (lo staf è tutto al femminile). In vigna abbiamo anche modo di assaggiare l'uva dai grappoli di negramaro e di primitivo scampati alla recente vendemmia. La nostra guida ci descrive in maniera appassionata le caratteristiche dei vitigni, e come avviene la coltivazione degli alberelli. Proseguiamo con la visita allo stabilimento che è tutto un tintinnio di bottiglie che addomesticate dalla filiera tutta meccanizzata, viaggiano in fila indiana fino a essere collocate nelle scatole, spettacolare. Quel tintinnio di bottiglie ci ha messo sete e quindi passiamo alla fase tre, la degustazione al wine shop. Ambiente sfizioso e accogliente che racchiude la storia degli inizi della cantina. La tavola è già preparata con tovagliette (forse troppo piccole) e bicchieri. Ci vengono proposti assaggi di salumi e formaggi della tradizione salentina (buonissimi) quindi ci viene servito prima un bianco che si chiama Numen (chardonnay barricato) una delizia per il palato. In progressione passiamo a un rosato di negramaro che si chiama Grecia dal sapore più intenso. Ormai le papille sono pronte ad accogliere un sontuoso Tacco rosso (negramaro riserva) che ci riporta direttamente all'intensità e al tannino del nostro aglianico del vulture, terra dalla quale proveniamo. Insomma, visitare le cantine Paolo Leo è un' esperienza che viene ben ripagata. Grazie Salento.
