CANTINE RISVEGLIO AGRICOLO

Cantine Risveglio is a cooperative winery founded in 1958 by a group of winemakers from Brindisi, driven by a desire to strengthen their presence in the national market. Initially led by environmentalist Dr. Antonio Di Giulio, the cooperative’s growth was fueled by a focus on collective enterprise, transforming grapes in a small facility. In 1964, a new winemaking structure was inaugurated, which remains operational today. Over time, the winery became a cornerstone for Brindisi viticulture, reaching significant production levels in the 1980s with over 150,000 quintals of grapes annually.

Following Di Giulio’s leadership, Dr. Fortunato Paloscia modernized the cooperative’s equipment and techniques, elevating its capabilities in fermentation and vinification. In 1996, Giovanni Di Giulio, the founder’s grandson, took over until 2006, followed by agronomist Giovanni Nardelli, further enhancing the cooperative’s reputation. Today, Cantine Risveglio continues to thrive, upholding the traditions and values established by its founders, with a focus on technological innovation and quality in Brindisi’s winemaking sector.
