About the winery After the Second World War in the 1950s, there was a lot of poverty among farmers in southern Italy. Grandfather Angelo Paradiso, one of the many farmers in Puglia, decided at that time to seek refuge in viticulture and built the Cantine Paradiso winery in 1954. Today, Cantine Paradiso is a winery that is particularly known for its generous red wines, made from grape varieties such as Primitivo, Negroamaro and Nero di Troia. Vineyard and region Sourced from various vineyards around Cerignola in Apulia. The soil consists of clay and lime. Vinification After harvest, the grapes are destemmed and fermented.

Part of the wine then matures for a year in barriques and the rest in stainless steel tanks. Color Ruby red. Scent: Red berries, cherries, vanilla, cloves.
