We investigate the sub-gap physics of a Cooper-pair splitter based on a double quantum dot realized in a semiconducting nanowire. We study how the transport properties are determined by the interplay between local and nonlocal tunneling processes between the superconductor and the quantum dots. In the presence of interdot tunneling the system provides a simple mechanism to generate nonlocal entanglement even in the absence of nonlocal coupling with the superconducting lead. We show that spin-orbit interaction in combination with finite Coulomb energy opens the possibility to control the symmetry (singlet or triplet) of nonlocally entangled electron pairs.
