History
Vines have long been in the Del Prete family, but Natalino was the first to focus fully on wine, and among Italy's early organic converts (certified 1994). Working naturally with native yeasts, concrete tanks and no added sulphur, he makes rustic, honest Salice Salentino and Salento reds, including Il Pioniere and the Negroamaro Anne.
