Appia Wine Road
An experience among territory, wine and history
In July 2024, the Appian Way (Via Appia Antica), together with its final stretch in the Brindisi area, was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, enhancing one of the main historical connections between Rome and the Mediterranean.
In this context, Appia Wine Road was created — a shared project among local wineries that brings together wine, history, and landscape.
The initiative offers a system of integrated wine tourism experiences along the route of the Appian Way and the Via Traiana, with the aim of providing visitors with a contemporary interpretation of the territory through winery visits, tastings, and thematic itineraries.
Tenute Lu Spada Experience
Within the Appia Wine Road network, Tenute Lu Spada offers a wine tourism experience structured as a guided journey through territory, production, and tasting.
The experience begins with a welcome at the winery and a brief introduction to the project and its connection to the Appian Way. It continues with a visit to the vineyards, during which the main production phases and the characteristics of the territory are explained.
A central element of the experience is the surrounding landscape: during the visit, guests can observe Lake Cillarese and visually follow the route of the ancient Appian Way toward the sea, strengthening the connection between the wine experience and the history of the place.
The tasting includes:
- 3 glasses of wine, including our Masada label, Negroamaro alberello Brindisi DOC
- Introduction to the characteristics of the wines
- Insights into the connection between grape variety, territory and production
- Duration: approximately 1 hour – 1 hour 30 minutes
- Participants: no minimum number required
