Piernicola Leone de Castris Appointed Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic

Our winery has received the prestigious Equalitas certification
There are wines that are born to preserve a tradition, and others that are born to renew it.
Fontana di Vite belongs to both categories: it is the new arrival in the Donna Coletta line, a project that intertwines history and innovation, past and future, with the same passion that has guided the Leone de Castris family for centuries.
A wine born from the Murgia
Among dry stone walls, cherry trees, and limestone rocks, in the authentic heart of the Apulian Murgia, this new Gioia del Colle Primitivo DOC comes to life.
A territory that is recognizable on the first sip: constant wind, temperature excursions, soils rich in stone and clay. A unique terroir that gives Fontana di Vite its truest voice: young, surprising, ideal to be tasted even in summer.
A red that breaks the mold
Fontana di Vite 2024 is not a wine that follows the rules: it is a red that is remembered for its immediacy, its crispness, and its authenticity.
On the nose, it opens with intense aromas of red fruit, dominated by the unmistakable note of the Ferrovia cherry, a symbol of the Gioia del Colle territory. In the mouth, it is juicy, balanced, and vibrant, with a finish that recalls the sweetness and freshness of freshly picked fruit.
Vinified and aged exclusively in steel, it preserves all the fragrance of the fruit and the most genuine essence of Primitivo.
A hymn to the vine, a hymn to life
The name itself, Fontana di Vite (Fountain of the Vine), is a tribute to the deep bond between man and nature: a wine that celebrates the strength of the vine and the beauty of life.
An ideal companion for tables, perfect with traditional Mediterranean dishes, but also capable of surprising with more contemporary pairings.
With Fontana di Vite, the Donna Coletta line signs a new chapter in its history: a wine that brings with it the breath of the Murgia and the freshness of a vintage that wants to tell its story with simplicity and style
