Schola Sarmenti In Nardò

I met them in 2004, the year I went to Salento for the first time. The cellar had just been renovated, the rooms were spectacular, the Lecce stone with its colors created a magical atmosphere, the owner was very kind and conveyed all his enthusiasm to me by showing me the work that had just been completed and telling me its story. Since then several decades have passed, I have continued to frequent this splendid land and have made it a safe haven throughout the year (and not just in the summer as unfortunately often happens for hasty tourists). I have had the opportunity to see both Schola Sarmenti and the city that hosts it grow and improve and I have always treated myself, over time, to a good bottle from this cellar. I returned for the Corimei Primitivo Passito (excellent!) and sat in the Wine Bar where Schola Sarmenti allows you to enjoy guided tastings of its many labels. Very particular environment, reserved and cared for, owners and staff always smiling and available. The growth and professionalism with which they made Schola Sarmenti grow and become known and the attention and style they gave to their work are to be appreciated and praised. Well done!

Lovely Lovely wine, in a beautiful building with very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended

Schola Sarmenti is a fabulous cantina in the heart of Nardò. We did a tour and tasting. The tour was easy to book and a phenomenal experience. The tour was informative, well executed and showed the beautiful spaces of Schola Sarmenti (cantina, wine cellar, bottling/processing room, small museum and tasting room). We did the 5 wine tasting with food pairing and discovered some new wines to add to the list of those we already love from Sarmenti. Elisa (our guide) was extremely kind and knowledgeable about the wines (we thoroughly enjoyed the tasting and getting to know Elisa). The wines were all delicious, and the food including their own olive oil was plentiful and very tasty! Aside from the wine it’s self, the branding, labels, and graphic design might be the best I’ve seen. Thank you to Elisa, Manuela and the Schola Sarmenti Team for such a wonderful experience. A presto! Grazie, Brian & Sky

Excellent quality and refined products in their own package. For now only tastings scheduled in advance. In short, marvelouse!

Grazie per tutti, Schola Sarmenti is an outstanding place and Winery. Top product and it stands on its own. Especially thanks to Elisa who made our fascinating tour at the Winery very professional and super friendly…Grazie ragazza we love the gwagwag wine 🍷😉😂 saluti Mike, Isabell, Christian and Karin

We went to the cellar for a tasting tour. Guided by Elisa, who infected us with her passion, we visited every part and finally had an excellent tasting of 4 of the many wines, all with their own history starting from the name. Excellent tasting and route that offers a moment of relaxation and emotional transport.
