Masseria Altemura

WINERY MASSERIA ALTEMURA

Masseria Altemura is located in the heart of Salento, halfway between the Ionian and Adriatic seas. The unique characteristics of the terroir are due to the exceptional light, the year-round fresh breezes from both seas and a soil where white limestone and the red clay of Salento predominate. The winery extends within the production area of Primitivo di Manduria DOC in a rural area called "Agro di Torre Santa Susanna". In a single place it combines an ancient "masseria", an estate, dating back to the 16th century, a winery designed according to bioarchitectural principles and the wonderful vineyards in the surrounding area. The estate extends over 300 hectares, of which soon 150 hectares will be planted with vines and 40 hectares with olive trees.
