Caleo
Caleo produces wines from Puglia, the sun-drenched heel of Southern Italy. The winery works with indigenous varieties that thrive in the region's warm, dry climate. Its Salice Salentino, built from Negroamaro grapes, represents the dark, structured character typical of Puglia's signature red. The Nero d'Avola Terre Siciliane draws from another Southern Italian classic—a variety known for ripe fruit and earthy depth. Both wines have been assessed by Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast, anchoring Caleo's output in the broader conversation around Southern Italian reds. The winery's focus on regional grapes reflects Puglia's viticultural identity: warm-climate viticulture yielding full-bodied wines with the mineral and savory notes the territory imparts.
