Soloperto Vini è una cantina a conduzione familiare con radici profonde nel cuore della Puglia, risalenti agli inizi del XX secolo. Il viaggio della cantina iniziò quando i nonni Soloperto riconobbero il potenziale della terra e fondarono una delle prime aziende di commercio di vino della regione. Alla fine degli anni '60, Giovanni Soloperto compì un passo innovativo imbottigliando Primitivo in purezza nella sua piccola cantina, prima ancora che venisse istituita la legge DOC, segnando l'inizio di una tradizione che avrebbe segnato il futuro della cantina. Oggi la cantina produce circa 2 milioni di bottiglie all'anno, con il Primitivo di Manduria come vino di punta, affiancato da altre varietà tradizionali pugliesi come il Negroamaro e le uve bianche delle colline della Murgia, che contribuiscono ai vini DOC di Martina Franca e Locorotondo. La filosofia di Soloperto Vini è incentrata sulla promozione dei vitigni autoctoni pugliesi, creando sia vini facili da bere che selezioni più complesse e degne di affinamento. Ogni bottiglia incarna la ricca storia e il terroir della Puglia, offrendo al mondo un gusto unico della regione. L'eredità di Giovanni Soloperto continua attraverso i suoi figli, Sabrina ed Ernesto, che ora gestiscono la cantina. La loro missione rimane la stessa del padre: difendere il vitigno Primitivo e restituire dignità e orgoglio alla terra e alla sua gente. Lo spirito pionieristico e la visione di Giovanni, dall'offerta di prezzi migliori ai viticoltori locali all'introduzione del Primitivo di Manduria sulla mappa, sono alla base del successo della cantina.

Felline ha una lunga storia, il protagonista del successo del Primitivo di Manduria e pietra miliare del progetto Accademia dei Racemi che ha dato impulso alla rinascita di numerosi vitigni autoctoni. Il nome deriva da una vasta area archeologica di Manduria, a breve distanza dalle sue famose spiagge, dove ci sono i resti di una città antica, chiamata Felline. I siti archeologici sono collegati a una leggenda che mantiene vivi ancora riti religiosi in onore di San Pietro. Si dice che San Pietro, partito da Antiochia nel 45 dC per Roma, impegnato nella missione di diffondere il Cristianesimo, naufragò arrivando proprio su una delle spiagge vicino a Manduria. La gente di Felline gli diede il primo soccorso e assistenza, lo accolse in paese, anche in presenza di una epidemia di peste in corso. S. Pietro liberò il popolo e il suo re Fellone dalla lebbra praticando guarigioni miracolose che hanno portato l’intera comunità a convertirsi alla nuova religione. Da Felline poi è andato a Roma dove fondò la Chiesa cattolica diventando il primo Papa nella storia.

All this factors have a strong influence on the taste of the wine: the same grape produced on different soils and by vine of different age, it gives a wine of different taste.      Also the same vines on the same soil, but different age, it gives a different wine: older is the vineyards and stronger are perfumes and taste of its grapes and the wine produced. In the year 2006, with the participation of the Family Brunetti, the company is registered for the first time with the name of AGRICOLA ERARIO. 2011 in a new location a new winery is build, where there are new cellars, containers underground and silos in stainless steel, machines for bottling and labelling.                                    In the same building there is the office and a small company store, where are sold Erario’s wines and extra virgin olive oils, and some typical food products of the region Apulia. Among these products there is foods made by other companies that respect the tradition of this region as special pasta and noodles,  pasta sauces, pickles, preserves in olive oil and so on. Actually Agricola Erario own about 200.000 square metres of vineyards and about 60.000 square metres of  olive grove. The production of wine is about 400.000 lt. (500.000 bottles of 0,75 l.) and 6.000 lt. of cold pressed extra virgin olive oil (7.500 bottles of 0,75 lt.).
