THE VINEYARD
The Tenuta Corallo wine 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 for over 25 years in the Salento tourism sector, to take over an estate of almost 13 hectares close to the Baia dei Turchi , along the Adriatic coast which 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 to protect against the cold mistral wind that blows through the Canale d' Otranto makes itself felt. 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 company's first important labels.
THE CELLAR
The newly built cellar is on 2 levels, ground floor and basement. The first houses a small showroom room and a laboratory, as well as a room of approximately 180 m2 where the refrigerated steel tanks used for refining the wines are located. On the external terrace there is a 100 quintals rotary tank used for the fermentation of red wines. In the basement there is a barrique cellar of approximately 100 m2 for the aging of wine in wood. This environment is also kept at adequate temperature and humidity. By appointment we host groups of visitors for tasting our wines.
