List of products by brand Castello Monaci

Under a dazzling sun, which floods the land with heat, while the eyes are lost among centuries-old olive trees and generous vineyards caressed by the wind mitigated by two seas, in the heart of Salice Salentino, stands Castello Monaci. The castle and The Cellar are surrounded by about 3,000 olive trees and 150 hectares of vineyards that represent one of the most significant models of Salento's innovative viticulture. The work in the vineyards is personally followed by Vitantonio Seracca Guerrieri, President of the estate, who for years has made choices aimed at the enhancement of the natives of Salento. The White cellar near the castle, built by the Memmo family in the 70s, offers new refrigerated pressing systems through Thermo-conditioned steel tanks. Through the selection of grapes and careful winemaking techniques Leonardo Sergio, the winery's winemaker, signs the quality of Castello Monaci. The vineyards are cultivated with spurred cordon. Below a first clay layer of about 1 meter the roots meet a wide band of tuff, typical porous and friable white stone. In periods of great drought it serves as a water resource for the vine giving flavor and minerality to the wines.
