Castello Monaci: the elegance of Salento in a bottle

The Castello Monaci collection gathers an interesting expression of Apulian wine, focusing on labels that tell the story of Salento through native grape varieties and a style rich in identity. Here, the territory meets a winery with a strong personality, capable of enhancing tradition, artisanal care, and a modern vision of winemaking.

A historic winery, a family project

Castello Monaci has its roots in a fortified residence linked to an ancient settlement of French monks from the 16th century. The property is now managed by four generations of the Memmo family, with an approach that combines history, continuity, and quality attention. The winery, made of white tuff and organized with advanced winemaking technologies, reflects this dual soul well: respect for the territory and precision in the cellar.

The selection predominantly features emblematic grape varieties of Puglia such as Primitivo, Negroamaro, and Malvasia Nera di Lecce, grapes that give life to intense, Mediterranean, and deeply territorial wines. The typical profile is that of enveloping, structured reds rich in fruit, with an expressive maturity that makes them immediately recognizable. This collection includes the Salento Primitivo IGT “Artas” 2017, an emblematic expression of the winery's philosophy.
