Una piacevole scoperta
Il wine tour in cantina è stato esaustivo e molto interessante. Una struttura moderna con una barricaia molto curata e intrigante. Bella anche la sala degustazioni.
Vini di grande livello che vengono prodotti da uve primitivo, negroamaro, Fiano e bianco di Alessano.
Accoglienza in masseria semplice e ben strutturata. Ottima cena al ristorante della struttura con una cucina di qualità.
Un punto di riferimento per la zona.

Incredible Venue, Dinner & Wine tour
- The hotel is a beautiful restoration that preserves the history of the building.
- Generous pre-dinner aperitivo (Saturday night) held by one of the owners.
- Set-menu dinner - 4 delicious courses
- Wine tour was a perfect balance of technical insights into winemaking and warm/friendly storytelling taking you from the vineyard outside, to the barrels / bottling and even a look at the analysis lab (rare in wine tours). Great wines paired with local cheese/savoury bites over about 2 hours.
- Staff were super friendly and available for all requests.

Pleasant Wine tour, dinner & stay in Masseria
For Guests staying overnight transport from the Masseria to winery would be a good option.

About Winery and Wines
Masseria Jorche has a rich and storied past, dating back to the late 17th century when it was established during the Spanish domination of Puglia under the feudal system. Originally, masserias like Jorche were self-sufficient agricultural hubs, complete with living quarters, animal shelters, and storage for food and agricultural tools. Jorche, one of the largest and most complete in the region, reached its height of prosperity at the end of the 19th century under Baron Bardoscia. The central building, the oldest part of the estate, was split between the upper floor, reserved for the landowner, and the lower floor, which housed the workers. At the start of the 20th century, Masseria Jorche became a symbol of the region's agricultural wealth and continues to stand as a monument to Puglia's historical and cultural heritage.
Near the sea, the ancient grape plots Pepe and Cirenaica form the heart of Masseria Jorche's vineyards, spread across twelve hectares of land ideal for viticulture. These family vineyards, deeply rooted in the area's winemaking history, produce limited quantities of high-quality grapes. An old “trullo” house on the property reflects the traditional farmers’ life, serving as a shelter during winter and a home during summer. Jorche cultivates primarily Primitivo, alongside other native Salento varieties like Negroamaro, Fiano Minutolo, and Bianco D’Alessano. The estate's commitment lies in preserving and revitalizing these indigenous grapes, ensuring that the rich winemaking heritage of the region continues to thrive.
