Descrizione

The Salento IGT "Keros" by Castello Monaci is a wine that embodies the strength and elegance of the native Puglia vines, presented in a generous format that enhances the sharing and celebration of special moments.

"Keros", a name that evokes strength and nobility, is mainly produced from Primitivo and Negroamaro grapes, symbols of the winemaking identity of Salento.

Visually, the wine has an intense and deep ruby red color, with violet reflections that underline its youth and vitality.

In the mouth, the wine reveals a powerful but balanced structure, with soft and well-integrated tannins that support its full and round body.

Ideal as a companion for rich and tasty dishes, such as grilled red meats, game and mature cheeses, the "Keros" Salento IGT in Magnum format by Castello Monaci is also an excellent choice as a meditation wine, to be appreciated for its aromatic richness and for its ability to evolve over time.

With its "Keros", Castello Monaci celebrates the grandeur and beauty of Salento, offering a wine that is testimony to the winemaking excellence of the region and the winery's commitment to producing wines that are faithful expressions of the territory, its history and of its traditions.

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.
