Tenuta Santoro

Winery in Itria Valley, Salento, Murge

About the Winery

Tenuta Santoro is located in Valle d'Itria, where time seems to have stood still, a crossroads of peoples and civilizations of which legends of demigods, good devils, brigands and great drinkers (and a few saints) still live on in the tales of the aziani - memory of the district. 

The winemaking activity is conducted in the heart of Valle d'Itria, between Martina Franca, Locorotondo and Cisternino, in the same land chosen by the owner's ancestors to plant the first vineyards and that today Marco Emilio Santoro cultivates in the fifth generation.

About the Wines

At Tenuta Santoro, with the aim of creating an interacting agro-ecosystem conducive to the organic management of the entire farm, plots of different nature have been acquired over the years: woods, tree pastures, olive groves and arable land. Typical of the area is the red soil, poor in nitrogen, partially endowed with clay, silt and sand, rich in potassium and bolus. The karst subsoil and the area's significant temperature ranges favor quality wine production.

Very pleasant and intimate wine tasting
My partner and I were alone on the tour with Marco.
We visited part of their vineyards and the winery where they make the wines.
The place feels very welcoming and pleasant.
The wines were of very good quality and the appetizer was top-notch, prepared with a lot of care.
He let us stay for as long as we needed and the experience in general was very calm and pleasant.
Highly recommended!!

Five stars for Marco, his dog Spank and the food
My girlfriend and I visited for an evening wine tasting and had a wonderful time. Only two of us turned up, so we ended up with a private tour by happy accident. What a stroke of luck. The whole experience was extremely informative. Marco made the evening fantastic. He is genuinely funny and switches between several languages with ease (we booked the tour in English and surprised us when he started speaking fluent German). He clearly knows his wines and he explains everything in a way that keeps you engaged from start to finish.

We chose the €45 option, which comes with snacks, and the food was brilliant. We asked for a few more cheese options and he accommodated us happily, no fuss at all.

We can't recommend it enough. Five stars, and we would absolutely do it again.

Grazie anchora, Marco!

Welcoming, friendly, delicious and interesting
Marco, a passionate and fascinating man, 5th generation. One day, who knows, his daughter will take over for the 6th generation, but he didn't seem convinced.
We chose the €45 menu, 3 kinds of wine accompanied by taralli and olives, then the local cheese and cured meats platter, a real delight. Marco is a very friendly person and passionate about his work.
I thank him for the few tips he was able to give, for visiting pretty villages not too far away, not necessarily touristy ones.
Grazie Marco

E si purtroppo le nuove generazioni la vedono diverso. Forse sono l'ultima generazione che e un misto tra tradizioni e moderno. Grazie a voi Lucia e Pascquale siete stati dei Ospiti meravigliosi.

An experience to repeat!
I got this as a gift for a friend of mine for her birthday but in reality, the gift was for me too!
Marco accompanied us during the tour and the tasting and was extremely professional but also empathetic and down-to-earth.
He told us the story of his family and the evolution of his vineyard over the years.
We felt at home and it's an experience we will definitely repeat.
Thank you so much
For an even more impeccable experience, I recommend the June/September period to experience the harvest atmosphere even more.

Amazing experience
It was memorable experience. I would say a perfect blend of taste, authenticity, and culture — an experience I’d happily recommend to anyone who appreciates genuine winemaking.
