The luxuriant green of the Serre Salentine, a Salento hill range , surprises the traveler in the burnt lands of Salento. Matino, which gave its name to the PDO, is one of the landmarks of this territory in which the more or less bold ridges of the plain rise. Matino and its historic centre, where time seems to stand still, can be the starting point for the exploration of small towns where wine and extra-virgin olive oil are an ancient art. All around the typical stone buildings, without the high coned roof the trulli, here “are called caseddhri” and many elegant old villas for luxurious holidays.

The typologies envisaged by the production regulations are:

Matino PDO Red
Matino PDO Rosé
