Founded in 1952, Cantina Sampietrana Winery is a testament to the resilience and innovation of the Puglia region following World War II. The war's end brought significant changes to Italian agriculture, with land reforms allowing small family farmers and new private enterprises to thrive. This shift laid the groundwork for the winery's establishment, which has since become a cornerstone of the local wine culture.
Located in San Pietro Vernotico, a charming village nestled between Lecce and Brindisi, Cantina Sampietrana is steeped in history. The winery was founded by 68 grape-growing members near the railway, which was the primary mode of transport at the time. This strategic location allowed grape growers to easily transport their harvest directly to the winery.
Today, the winery still features original concrete winemaking tanks that are fully vitrified, offering a glimpse into the traditional winemaking practices of the past.
Spanning over 190 hectares, the vineyards are situated just three to seven kilometers from the winery, ensuring minimal transportation time and optimal vinification conditions. The dedicated winemakers at Cantina Sampietrana produce wines that reflect the region's rich history and tradition. Key grape varieties include Negroamaro, Malvasia, Primitivo, Chardonnay, and Cabernet, which contribute to their acclaimed red and white wines.

A very valid location in San Pietro Vernotico. Located in the historic center in the same building where it was founded in 1952, it produces and bottlers various types of high-quality wine. Negramaro, Primitivo, Malvasia, and noble grapes from our region give rise to the wide variety of wines on the market. Worth a visit and enjoy the fine wine still made from the grapes.

We had the most amazing wine tour. Such a lovely host who explained the process of wine making so well. The wine tasting and food were incredible. We have not experienced a service like this for a wine tasting since we have been in Puglia, so I highly recommend visiting this one.
