Bold and flavourful wines from Medieval lands

Li Veli is located on an ancient Messapian site, dominating the fertile and sunny Salento plain in southern Puglia, between the Ionic and Adriatic Sea. The range includes six reds and two white wines, including the Askos Susumaniello and Askos Verdeca, created using a selection of rare, ancient Puglian grape varieties. The vineyards cover a total area of 33 hectares and a number of factors ensure the grapes are of the highest quality: high planting density, maximum soil exploitation by the deep vine roots, maximum sun exposure and good air circulation. All of the estate’s wines feature a quartet of little crosses on their labels – this was the original and distinctive signature of the first illiterate owner on the property deeds – in a lovely nod to their humble origins. Founded in 1999 by the Falvo family, Masseria Li Veli has earned a reputation worldwide for producing premium, authentic wines, characteristic of Puglia, helping to transform the image of the region.
