The heart of Schola Sarmenti is an ancient wine factory built in the half of the nineteenth century and remained closed for more than fifty years. Marra and Calabrese families brought back to splendor an ancient symbol of Salento's enology, fulcrum of an important architectural tradition, where culture and territory are transmitted to visitors through the impetuous beauty of star vaults made of tuff and leccese stone.
The embrace between present and past finds its maximum expression in the unique details, able to really move. Going down slowly from a small central staircase, the heart is pervaded by an intense perfume, while the legs want to hurry up, eager to discover that underground world.
The last step and you are finally immersed in wine.
A barrique cellar made of old cisterns one after the other. The right temperature and a constant humidity all year round make it a perfect environment where barrels keep that wine which, once bottled, will end up resting between purple red walls.
A place where you can breathe the air of a distant past, while the scents of wine and wood give a foretaste of the result of this slow rest: the near future.
