In the territory of Montesano Salentino, a land of vineyards and good wine, you can admire the Palmenti, which the town purchased acknowledging their historical and cultural value.
They consist of eight vats used for barefoot grape stomping, essential for the long winemaking process. The vats, once connected to a private wine press, are attached to tanks used for collecting the must.
Recently restored, these vats represent a rural heritage of great importance.
