Storia
The Tenute Rubino project began in the 1980s, inspired by Tommaso Rubino's idea of developing winemaking in Salento. He believed strongly in the region's potential. Through a series of acquisitions he built a production base that brought together four estates: Jaddico, Marmorelle, Uggio and Punta Aquila. Besides wine, Tenute Rubino also produces olive oil.
