Apollonio Casa Vinicola

Apollonio Casa Vinicola is a historic winery that began in 1870 in the Salento region, shortly after Italy's unification. Situated in an area where wine production was a way of life, the Apollonio family has successfully exported the rich tradition of Salento's high-quality wines worldwide. Through a deep passion and dedication to their craft, they have maintained their place as a leading name in Italian winemaking, continuing to preserve and promote the region’s unique wine heritage.

In the warm, sun-drenched Salento region, Apollonio Casa Vinicola follows nature’s rhythm, harvesting sweet grapes marked by lunar cycles. In their Monteroni cellar, red grapes are carefully selected and fermented in Slavonian oak vats at controlled temperatures. Traditional wines are aged for 6 to 12 months, while reserves mature for up to 72 months. Unfiltered and unpasteurized, these wines are further refined in 220-liter oak barrels for enhanced micro-oxygenation. Apollonio uses modern technology, including steel tanks, automatic presses, and an advanced bottling line that produces 8,000 bottles per hour. Natural corks from Sardinia and Portugal seal their exceptional wines.
