Today, the third and fourth generation of the family produce wine with innovative methods respecting traditions, writing pages of a new history between past, present and future. In this historic company located in Leporano, in the province of Taranto, within the territory known as Salento, experience and tradition have found full synergy over time through the use of the most advanced winemaking technology and great attention to market needs. Over time, in fact, the technologies used for the production of wines have harmoniously reconciled with the ancient winemaking traditions of the Salento area. Varvaglione 1921 is a constantly evolving winery, which in the past opened to the public with the sale of bulk wine. Today, the Varvaglione 1921 brand is recognized in the national and international market and is supported by a prestigious list of wines that have received numerous awards and recognitions.
