Cantina Museo ALbea

Winery in Itria Valley, Murge

About the Winery

Albea Winery, established at the turn of the 20th century, stands as one of the oldest and most respected wineries in the region, blending modern production techniques with a rich historical legacy. Located in the heart of Alberobello, our winery is a testament to the enduring traditions of winemaking in Puglia. The structure itself is entirely made of stone, with wine storage tanks carved deep into the rock, echoing the ancient methods once used for water cisterns. Today, Albea produces around 350,000 bottles of wine annually, catering to an international market. Our facilities are spread across two floors; the first houses our state-of-the-art production area, complete with stainless steel tanks, barrel storage, a bottling line, warehouse, and offices. The second floor is home to the Alberobello Wine Museum, a unique attraction that pays homage to the region's rich agricultural and oenological heritage. Visitors can explore a fascinating collection of ancient agricultural tools and photographs, offering a journey through the evolution of winemaking from ancient times to the sophisticated techniques of today.

About the Wines

At Albea Winery, we are dedicated to producing wines of exceptional quality, with a strong commitment to sustainability and meticulous attention to every step of the winemaking process—from the vineyard to the bottle. We focus exclusively on native grape varieties, which are the true essence of Puglia's terroir. Our portfolio includes the robust Primitivo, the structured Nero di Troia, the versatile Negroamaro, and the aromatic whites like Verdeca, Fiano, Bianco d'Alessano, and Maresco. Each wine we craft reflects our passion for authenticity and our respect for tradition, while also embracing the needs of modern consumers who seek wines that are both eco-friendly and expressive of their origin. At Albea, our mission is to preserve the legacy of Puglian viticulture while continuously looking towards the future.

Quality wines & lots of interesting history
We enjoyed walking through the museum & looking at the items. We did expect a guide to walk with us & give us more details. We booked for 2:30 & we’re asked if we were willing to shift to 2:45 to join with another group. I agreed. However, when we arrived, we were told the other group was late They joined us to a large group at 3:00 who were clearly not interested in anything the guides had to say. The people in that group made it very difficult for us to enjoy our experience. We were disappointed with being added to their group rather than having our own experience. We did ask to stay after the group left so I could ask questions & get more information about the grape varieties, production, etc. That time was the best part of our experience. We loved many of the wines & did purchase a case. The two guides were very friendly & nice & we appreciate the time they spent with us.
If someone books what they believe is a small group or private experience - it is frustrating to become part of a large group that came on a bus together.

A fantastic winery experience – Nico is an exceptional ambassador!
A fantastic winery experience – Nico is an exceptional ambassador!

We visited the winery yesterday, and the experience was simply unforgettable. The historical tour of the site was fascinating, but what truly made the visit special was Nico.

His service, courtesy, patience, and explanations were top-notch. Nico didn't just convey information; he shared a genuine passion for the place and gave us a broad, in-depth perspective on the world of wine in Puglia and the region as a whole. We had plenty of questions, and he dedicated significant time beyond the official tour to explain, elaborate, and answer everything with patience and a smile.

There is no doubt that Nico is a true ambassador for the winery. The tour was fantastic and left us wanting more. Highly recommended for any wine lover!

A wonderful evening.
We spent an unforgettable time in the company of Nico, who loves sharing his passion for wine and the region. An informative visit to the cantina, then a tasting of wine and local specialties in the middle of the vineyards in an enchanting setting. A lovely moment shared with the other guests. Highly recommended without any hesitation.

Excellent
Nico was excellent- he is very knowledgeable and passionate about wine.

We really enjoyed the morning learning about Albea, Puglia and Italian wines, and agriculture. It was very informative and provided us with lots of information. We loved Albea wines especially LUI and LEI.

A must do in Alberobello!
Nico was very professional during his tour, he was able to personalise the tour based on our experiences and wine knowledge. His kind nature and knowledge made for a great day. I recommend a tour of Alba for anyone that loves history, wine or culture.

Nice experience
My husband and I took a tour that included wine tasting and food options. It was a very nice experience and the guide was really nice. The wines we tasted were so good that we bought some to take home.

We enjoyed tasting the different wines and the pours were really generous.
As a suggestion, a separate glass for each wine.
