According to Greek geographer Strabo, the city of Brindisi has been a city of viticulture since antiquity and was founded by settlers from the Cretan capital Knossos in 16th century BC. Cantina Sampietrana is a Cantina Sociale with just over 60 members and has been making fine Salento wines since 1952. They remain honest to their traditions as well as adapting to new techniques.
