Description

Coribante by Castello Monaci is an intriguing blend of Syrah and Malvasia Nera, two vines that find the ideal terrain to best express themselves in the warm and sunny Salento. This wine has an intense and deep color, almost impenetrable, a prelude to a complex and seductive bouquet. On the nose, notes of berries, black pepper and floral touches given by Malvasia Nera stand out, while in the mouth Syrah dominates with its power and structure, balanced by a surprising freshness and liveliness. The result is a wine of great harmony and pleasantness, capable of surprising with its elegance and the length of the finish. Ideal with red meat dishes, stews and medium-aged cheeses, Coribante represents an excellent choice for those looking for a wine capable of combining the tradition of Salento with a modern and innovative vision of winemaking.

Winery history

The building known as Castello Monaci has historical origins dating back to the Renaissance/medieval period and takes its name from an ancient settlement of Basilian monks. Over the centuries the fortification’s use and ownership have changed several times, and it is now managed by the Memmo Seracca Guerrieri family, who have enhanced the historic residence by integrating winemaking, hospitality and events.

Production philosophy

It combines respect for native Salento grape varieties and the local terroir with the use of modern winery technologies: temperature-controlled vinification, ageing in barriques, and a focus on wine tourism through wine tours and a wine museum that showcases local traditions.

Terroir and vineyards

Located in the heart of Salento, in Contrada Monaci near Salice Salentino and San Pancrazio Salentino, the estate is set among vineyards and olive groves and is influenced by the proximity of the Ionian and Adriatic seas. The soils include tuffaceous formations typical of the area.

Awards and recognitions

The winery’s wines have received positive ratings in international publications. Some flagship labels are cited in contexts that indicate national recognition; the winery is also recognized for awards and mentions related to hospitality and its location.
