Azienda Vitivinicola Petrelli is a farm near Carmiano, in the province of Lecce, Puglia. In the south, “the heel”, of Italy. The winery has ancient origins. The Fondo della Chiusa estate, is a country house and summer residence, built in 1850 and then bought in 1920 by the Petrelli family.

The stable of the old estate is now used as a tasting room, where tourists from all over the world indulge their taste buds with the various labels from the cellar. Paolo Petrelli, founded the winery in 1970 and his son Giovanni, took over the reins of the company in 2000.

Currently, Giovanni is accompanied by his daughter Chiara, a young oenologist who, without forgetting traditions, brings new ideas and a modern touch to the company. This marks the beginning of the third generation of Petrelli winemakers.

Petrelli produces not only the classic grape varieties of Puglia such as Negroamaro, Primitivo and Fiano, but also well-known varieties. He divided the wines into three sections. De Classici, de Vini della Chiusa en de vini della tradizione. We import the latter section to introduce the Netherlands to the warmth and delicate flavour and atmosphere of Puglia.
