Tenuta Corallo Winery

Discover Tenuta Corallo Winery, the most charming Italian South-Eastern winery on the Adriatic Sea.

The winery project of Tenuta Corallo was born from a union of passions. The love for the sea and the passion for the world of wine in 2010 led to Enzo and Gabriella Marti, entrepreneurs for over 25 years in the tourism sector of Salento, to detect an estate of nearly 13 hectares near the “Baia dei Turchi” (Bay of Turks), along the Adriatic coast which unites the Alimini Lakes to Otranto and move there. 

In 2014, they decided to plant a vineyard, cultivated in organic farming, separated from the sea by a thin line of Mediterranean vegetation (only 30 metres!), useful especially in winter when it acts as a natural barrier against the cold mistral wind blowing from the Otranto Channel. The influences of the sea breezes give the wines special flavours and a unique freshness.

Primitivo, Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera, Aleatico and Fiano are the typical vines of the Salento area that have been planted.

The brand new two-story cellar houses a small showroom and a laboratory, as well as a room of about 180 square metres where steel refrigerated tanks that serve to refine the wines are located. On the outside terrace there is a 100 quintal rotary tank used for the fermentation of the reds. In the basement there is a barrel room of about 100 square meters for the refinement of wine in the wood. This environment is also kept at adequate temperature and humidity.

Wine lovers can enjoy tasting Tenuta Corallo wines upon appointment. 

Vigna Corallo also offers accommodation. There are  11 beautiful apartments, all with an independent entrance, and a broad outdoor patio equipped with exquisite furniture, in the shade of a pergola, barbecue and an additional outdoor shower.
