At Christmas
we know that the most important gift to give others, and ourselves, is a smile and a friendly face to everyone who enriches our days.
The magic of the holidays happens when we recognise their true value: being together.
So that you can share these days with those around you, we bring you as a gift from our usual journey to the best wine cellars, two wines that come from Salento.
Encounters that we also wish for you, of those capable of giving you encouraging smiles and looks of understanding, to build common projects.
Orion
Fruity notes to the nose, rubies to the eye and dry rigour on a palate never tired of savouring red plum, mulberry, pink pepper, with intriguing incursions of sandalwood.
The grapes come from both younger vines and fine head-trained crus.

Among our ethical choices for this Christmas 2022, also that of a cotton tote bag certified as a container for the two Masseria Li Veli wines. An object that we invite you to reuse for your purchases in wine shops, dinners with friends, family celebrations, thus sharing our commitment to the environment that surrounds us.
Starting from this year, we have chosen to abandon the use of paper to send our greetings. In its place, we have created this website, hosted on Easy Green Hosting, which is committed to offsetting its emissions through initiatives such as Treedom and Spiritus Mundi with each new publication on its platform. Additionally, to preserve the purity of our waters in collaboration with AmbienteAcqua.
