The grapes preferred by Marra and Winspeare are the indigenous species of Salento: Negroamaro, Primitivo and Malvasia Nera di Lecce: cultivated in three diverse terroirs within the province of Lecce (these vineyards can all be visited, by appointment). The two wine makers are among those Puglians responsible for the rebirth of a region which, in recent years, has experienced a veritable tourist boom, attracting many visitors with its dramatically beautiful landscapes, age old traditions, and excellent food, the latter now accompanied by any number of superlative, locally produced wines.
