Experience the enchanting diversity of Puglia, where two seas and centuries-old wine-growing traditions merge to create a unique experience.

The Apulian coast stretches majestically along the azure Adriatic Sea in the east and the turquoise Ionian Sea in the south. Golden sandy beaches and dramatic rocky cliffs alternate with hidden bays and picturesque fishing villages. From the white houses of Polignano a Mares on the Adriatic to the tropical beaches of the "Maldives of Salento" on the Ionian Sea, the coast offers breathtaking landscapes.

In the midst of this beauty, just a few kilometers from the coast, lies the Masseria Altemura - a jewel of Apulian wine culture. This historic masseria, a traditional Apulian estate, combines centuries-old architecture with state-of-the-art wine production. Surrounded by rolling hills and extensive vineyards, it offers a perfect contrast to the coastal landscape.

Masseria Altemura is known for its excellent wines that capture the essence of Puglia. Indigenous grape varieties such as Primitivo and Negroamaro thrive here, nourished by the warm sun and the sea breeze from both seas. The mineral-rich soils and the unique microclimate give the wines their characteristic intensity and elegance.

Imagine ending the evening on the terrace of Masseria Altemura after a day at the beach on the Adriatic or the Ionian Sea. With a view of the vineyards and the sea glistening in the distance, you can enjoy a full-bodied Primitivo or a fresh Rosato. The aromas of the wine merge with the scent of the Mediterranean scrub and the salty hint of the sea breeze.

The Masseria offers wine tastings where you can discover the diversity of Apulian wines. From powerful reds to elegant whites - every sip tells a story of the sun, the sea and the rich culture of this region.

Puglia thus uniquely combines the beauty of its coasts with the tradition of viticulture. The Masseria Altemura is a perfect example of this symbiosis, where the heritage of the past meets modern winemaking, framed by the breathtaking landscape between the Adriatic and Ionian Seas.
