If you’ve tried our bestselling Pillastro wines, you know the excellence Cantine Due Palme produces. (Or, perhaps you recognize the name from their three Vinitaly ‘Winery of the Year’ titles.) We’re honored to offer you an exclusive opportunity to taste their finest red, Selvarossa dei Confratelli Riserva, when you become a Vineyard Partner.

Far more than a truly luxurious wine, it is a testament to Cantine Due Palme’s incredible history...

It all began with Angelo Maci, the cellar’s legendary founder and a native of Salento, a rural stretch of southern Italy’s Puglia region. Angelo learned winemaking from his grandfather, who instilled in him a deep respect for Salento and its grand agricultural traditions.

When Angelo took the reins at his family winery in 1971, he saw firsthand how local winegrowers toiled for next to nothing, while middlemen got rich selling their fruit in bulk and Salento became known for simple wine sold at bargain prices. It gave Angelo a life-changing idea...

In 1989, Angelo founded Due Palme to be a true cooperative focused on quality and sustainability. He started with just 15 growers—and today, the co-op counts 1,000+ members, has won hundreds of awards and has earned a reputation for making exceptional wines—with Selvarossa dei Confratelli Riserva as the crown jewel.

It’s crafted from primarily old-vine Negroamaro, with a portion of the grapes air dried for greater depth and concentration. Aged in barrel, then in bottle, it has layers of toasty oak and spice that balance heady notes of ripe cherry and plum. It’s a wine you can’t help but linger over.

Originally, Due Palme made Selvarossa dei Confratelli Riserva for the growers, their family and friends—but eventually, our Italy expert convinced them to set aside a few cases each year for our Vineyard Partners.

And that brings us back to this amazing opportunity...
