Masseria Capoforte: as attractive as its land
After months of projects, programmes and agreements, Salento has become a Tourist District. This goal certainly represents one of the most important opportunities for the future of the entire Salento territory, which is experiencing a growing flow of tourists who are increasingly attracted by the beauty of Baroque, by the splendour of landscapes between the sea and the sky and, last but not least, by the quality of its wines.
The survey on international tourism by Bankitalia, too, confirms that Salento is increasingly appreciated by foreign tourists. In the long, narrow strip of land that makes up Puglia, the southernmost Salento peninsula with its sea, its beaches and its food and wine tradition has enchanted everyone and has become one of the most popular tourist destinations in 2016. This spring foreign tourists have already been spotted admiring the beauty of Baroque architecture in Lecce, the grandeur of the Santa Croce Church or of the Cathedral. They do not go unnoticed while they are sitting at one of the many restaurants, in the countryside or in the city centre, sipping a glass of Primitivo, Fiano, Falanghina o Greco and tasting the typical local dishes.
Mentioned in the most authoritative international tourist and food and wine guides, this year, more than ever, Salento stands out as a place that fills everyone’s heart and amazes with its elusive sweet, harsh pride. Therefore, a tribute to this region where life has another rhythm and thoughts are light and clear. Rows of vines mark the horizon, caressed by a gentle sea breeze, heated by the sun, in a perfect microclimate for the ripening of wonderful wines, like those of Masseria Capoforte.
