Castel di Salve is one of Puglia's historic wineries, founded in 1885 in Depressa by Antonio Winspeare, Duke of Salve with the goal of producting quality table wines. Now the winery is runed by the 4th and 5th generation of the Winspeare family. Strong and proud of the ancestors tradition, we still continue to work the same land today, to produce wines of character that are clean and elegant at the same time.

The bulk of our agricultural work takes place in the historic family estate "Masseria Bosco Belvedere", located in the geographical center of the lower Salento. The focus is on the native grapes of Salento like Verdeca, Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera di Lecce and Primitivo. Furthermore we also cultivate another small vineyard in Depressa and other sites in the lower Salento, for a total of about 31 hectares of vineyards.

After the tour, we'll guide you into a tasting of 5 different wines from our production, which we'll chose depending on the season and availability. We'll be open to answer your questions and ready to make you have a good time at our place. Also, we advise you check how to get to our winery before making your visit request.

We enjoyed an informative tour and beautiful lunch with the proprietors of Castel di Salve Winery. This is a small, family owned winery with a 150 year old pedigree. They produce classic wines from mostly estate grown varieties found in southern Italy, and more specifically, the Puglia/Salento area. If you are a wine lover, like us, and want to expand your knowledge and appreciation of these lesser known grape varieties and the terroir they grown in, we highly recommend you visit.
Great experience!

After a friendly reception by one of the hostesses we were professionally guided through the authentic winery, estates and wine cellar. After the tour we were offered an extensive wine tasting of various types of wines. We really enjoyed and also got to learn a lot about the diversity of wines and their origin. Thank you!

The tour was interesting and the wines were quite good, particularly their Lama del Tenente. Easily the best wine we tasted in Salento. Commentary from the owner added a lot of interesting information and entertainment. A tour not to be missed!

We came to Puglia to learn and taste the wine, and Riccardo delivered with this experience. Wonderful tour of the winery, learning about the family generations that have developed the business, and finishing with a fabulous tasting. If you enjoy the small, family-run personable experiences, then this is for you!
