IL SALENTO, A TERRITORY RICH IN HISTORY, CULTURE AND BAROQUE TRADITION
Here authentic wines with a great personality are produced.
Salento has always been a land of exchanges, contacts between east and west, north and south.Here the famous architectural season of Baroque developed which, with all aristocratic buildings, the decorated portals, the facades of the churches, expresses the union of different cultures.
Just in this land, whose proud is linked to its history, are produced wines unique, inimitable, which have a definite personality and reflect the harmony of the territory, represent the sweetness of its scents, the goldness of its sun and the beauty of its sea.
A GREAT PASSION FOR AN IMMENSE LAND
The Salentine peninsula, rich in history, traditions, is the land of flowers, of lively colours and intense emotions, ready to give unforgettable and inimitable atmospheres, visions and scents.
Historic frontier between east and west, always involved to find its identity during a continual succession of dominations and cultures, most part of Salento's charm is due to its geographic position. In Salento, that is the real door of east, arrived tradesmen from Costantinople, here landed learned people and monks, here the influence of Ottoman empire was very strong.
Art and nature are treasures which are well kept on the undulating profiles of the promontory, on the rows of vineyards and the variety of the sea-resorts. The towns have an intense enviromental scent able to transmit sensations also with minor expressions.
Salento may assimilate far cultures, to keep and to hand down them. As the wind (if it's north-wind or sirocco) always blows strongly, Salento may change the aspect of the two seas on which it stands on.
This is Salento. These we are!
