Three Treasures of Claudio Quarta Winery

Claudio Quarta Vignaiolo, led by Claudio and his daughter Alessandra, encompasses three wineries in the picturesque regions of Puglia and Campania. The estates—Tenute Eméra, Cantina Sanpaolo, and Moros Winery—reflect Claudio's deep passion for winemaking. Each winery produces exceptional DOC, DOP, IGP, and DOCG wines, showcasing both local and international grape varieties.

A Biologist's Winemaking Dream

Claudio's love for wine began long before he transitioned from his career as a biologist, geneticist, and microbiologist in New York. After years of developing innovative biotechnologies, he returned to Italy in 2005 to pursue his dream of winemaking. He established Tenute Eméra as his first winery, followed by Cantina Sanpaolo. In 2012, his daughter Alessandra joined the family business, coinciding with the founding of Moros Winery.

Tenute Eméra: The Heart of the Winery

Tenute Eméra is the largest of the three wineries, spanning 80 hectares, with 50 hectares dedicated to grape cultivation. The name, derived from the Greek goddess Hemera, reflects the winery's connection to the Salento region. The vineyards feature native grape varieties such as Primitivo, Negroamaro, and Fiano di Puglia, alongside international varieties like Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay.
Perched on a stunning hill, Cantina Sanpaolo offers breathtaking views of the Sabato Valley. This estate specializes in Greco di Tufo and Aglianico grapes. Inside the cellar, you will find a variety of French oak barriques, tonneau, and barrels. Moros Winery, a boutique cellar, focuses exclusively on producing Salentino PDO wines.

Fascinating designer winery that offers a wonderful welcome to all wine lovers who are lucky enough to pass through Guagnano. And then Alessandra Quarta is the pinnacle of professionalism and hospitality. A wonderful hostess. Highly recommended and first-class wines.

I loved this cellar so much, you enter and find yourself in another world between art and wine. It is really beautiful, inside hides a really fantastic Magna Graecia museum

The wine tasting at Claudio Quarta wines was simply amazing. Alessandra, the daughter of the winery founder, gave us an unforgettable tour that covered the winery, history, and transformation into a modern and high end winery. The tour included a large collection of ancient wine items that the founder has collected over the past couple of decades. This was followed by a fabulous tasting of white, rose, and red (negroamaro) wines. The tasting was expertly hosted by Katerina in a beautiful tasting area where wines were once stored decades ago. Each was excellent and the experience was enhanced by perfectly paired food. This was one of the best tasting experiences I’ve ever had and has opened my eyes to the elegance and quality of Claudia Quarta wines. We’ll be searching for them as soon as we return to the USA.

An entrepreneurial reality of enormous taste. The aim of the winery is not only to produce excellent wine, but also to preserve its ancient places and share its culture (not only the wine culture). A place to visit and enjoy in every way!
