Cantina Fiorentino is located in the heart of Salento, between the rocky landscapes of the Adriatic and the sandy expanses of the Ionian Sea. It was founded in 2014 in Galatina, in the province of Lecce, incorporating the historic Cantina Valle Dell’Asso.
Led by Pierantonio Fiorentino, an entrepreneur in the field of renewable energy and bio-sustainability, the company produces exclusively organic wines, committing to respecting and preserving its environment. It minimizes fossil fuel consumption through buildings and facilities with very low energy consumption.
Two winery offices, located in Galatina, have been restored and modernized to realize Pierantonio Fiorentino's dream of applying his energy expertise to wine production.
On one side, the former Folonari factory – from which, at the beginning of the 20th century, must and blended wines were shipped to other Italian regions – whose restoration revealed several vats used for vinification and aging.
