Masseria Borgo Dei Trulli –
A Modern Legacy Rooted in Tradition
Nestled in the heart of Salento, Puglia, Masseria Borgo Dei Trulli stands as a testament to the harmonious blend of tradition and innovation in Italian winemaking. Founded by the esteemed winemaker Alessandro Michelon, the estate is named after the region's iconic Trulli—ancient stone dwellings with conical roofs that dot the picturesque landscape.
Alessandro Michelon, recognized as one of Italy's most innovative and experienced winemakers, envisioned a winery that would encapsulate the essence of Puglia's rich viticultural heritage while embracing modern winemaking techniques. His profound knowledge of Italy's diverse wine regions and commitment to quality led him to establish Masseria Borgo Dei Trulli, where he could craft exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of the area.
The estate's vineyards are strategically located in the communes of Sava, Manduria, and Maruggio—areas renowned for their fertile soils and favorable microclimates. These conditions are ideal for cultivating indigenous grape varieties such as Primitivo, Negroamaro, Vermentino, Malvasia Bianca, Fiano, and Sauvignon Blanc. By focusing on these native grapes, Michelon aims to showcase the authentic flavors and characteristics of the region.
A cornerstone of Masseria Borgo Dei Trulli's philosophy is its commitment to sustainable and organic farming practices. The winery employs eco-friendly viticulture methods, minimizing chemical interventions to preserve the natural balance of the ecosystem. This approach not only ensures the health of the vineyards but also enhances the purity and expression of the wines produced.
The winery itself is a blend of modernity and tradition. Michelon transformed an old masseria, surrounded by ancient vines, into a state-of-the-art facility . This renovation honors the historical significance of the structure while equipping it with advanced technology to facilitate precise winemaking processes.
Through Michelon's visionary leadership and unwavering passion, Masseria Borgo Dei Trulli has garnered critical acclaim and a loyal following among wine enthusiasts. The estate's wines are not merely beverages but narratives of Puglia's storied landscapes, cultural richness, and exceptional craftsmanship.
