Classic Tasting 3 glasses

The Tenuta Corallo winemaking project was born from a combination of passions. In 2010, love for the sea and passion for the world of wine moved Enzo and Gabriella Marti, entrepreneurs in the Salento tourism sector for over 25 years, to take over an estate of almost 13 hectares near the Baia dei Turchi, along the Adriatic coast that connects the Alimini Lakes to Otranto. After a few years, the project on paper became reality with the planting of a vineyard separated from the sea only by a thin line of Mediterranean scrub, useful especially in winter to act as a natural barrier of protection from the cold mistral wind that is felt in the Strait of Otranto. Primitivo, Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera, Aleatico and Fiano are the typical vines of the Salento area that have been planted so far, bringing to fruition the first important labels of the company.

The newly built cellar is on 2 levels, ground floor and basement. The first one hosts a small showroom and a laboratory, in addition to a room of about 180 square meters where the refrigerated steel tanks used to refine the wines are located. On the outdoor terrace there is a rotating tank of 100 quintals used for the fermentation of the reds. In the basement there is the barrel room of about 100 square meters for the refinement of the wine in wood. This room is also kept at an adequate temperature and humidity.
