Founded in 1934, "Agricole Vallone", a company owned and run by a family, led by Vittoria and Maria Teresa Vallone, who have been taking advantage for years of the technical management of the agronomist Donato Lazzari and of the consulting, for the wine part, of the oenologist Graziana Grassini. The administrative seat is in Lecce, while the farming realities, in the Salice Salentino DOC, the Brindisi DOC, the Salento IGT, as well as the Colline Brindisine DOP, are located in some of the most historically suited to viticulture and olive growing areas in the province Brindisi, in the heart of Salento.
The three bodies of the enterprise cover 660 hectares, including 170 hectares of vineyards, 120 hectares of olive trees and the rest is agricultural land, for the production of artichokes and vegetables in general for the domestic market and the food industry. They are the Flaminio company in the Brindisi countryside (310 hectares, 110 of which are vineyards), the Iore company in the countryside of San Pancrazio Salentino (40 hectares of vineyards), and the Castelserranova company, in the Carovigno compnay (312 hectares, of which 20 vineyard during the installation). Agricole Vallone has two different structures, equipped with the most technologically advanced winemaking equipment, one in the Flaminio farm – Brindisi (a transformation winery where the vinification phase of all wines takes place), the other in Copertino, in the province of Lecce, which houses the wine cellar where bottling takes place and where the delicate stage of refinement occurs (in steel and in wood, in large oak casks and small French oak barrels) of wine.
