ABOUT PRODUCER

Cantina Paradiso's history commenced in 1950 with Grandfather Angelo, one of the many peasants who populated the Puglia countryside during that period. During the estate's 60-year history, the Paradiso family have always given the utmost importance to their close ties to this unique terroir, promoting the area's winemaking culture and constantly improving the quality of their production. The ongoing results confirm the choices made by three generations of down-to-earth vignerons closely bound to tradition and sensitive to innovation.
