Tenuta Annibale

About

Tenuta Annibale is a viticultural farm located in the heart of the Salentina peninsula, near Leverano on the road Copertino- Sant’Isidoro, a few kilometres from the Ionio sea. Its name is related to Hannibal the famous military leader of Carthage that according to the legend came here with its troops in the past. The production started in the 70’s and concerns red, rosé and white wines DOC Copertino and IGT Salento. The wines have the name of some persons, events and places of the historical period of Hannibal: Zama (the Zama battle that marked the end of the second Punic war), Cartagine (that became famous thanks to the leader Hannibal), Malco (Hannibal’s General), Motya and Melqart (two of the most important cities of the Carthaginian empire).
