It was my great-great-grandfather Giuseppe Santoro<\/strong>, whose name I bear, who, after returning from America, began to cultivate the land that today forms the heart of the Santoro family estate: 40 hectares of total area<\/strong>, of which 20 are planted with vines.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Five generations of winemakers<\/strong> who have followed one another, handing down knowledge and passion. Five generations who have left their wise and passionate footprints in the vineyards and in the care of the territory. The result is an authentic and sublime wine, the result of minimal interventions in the vineyard.<\/span><\/p>\n The autochthonous vines Gaglioppo<\/strong> and Greco bianco<\/strong> are the result of a very long acclimation to the arid and clayey soils of our hills and require very little support. Our task is to indulge and support nature by providing oxygen and organic nutrients to the soils to strengthen them and to give them structure. The whole production process is carried out following organic regulations<\/strong>. The result is in a glass of authentic wine<\/strong> rich in unique bouquet<\/strong>.<\/span><\/p>\n Our Cir\u00f2 is guaranteed by the Consortium for the Protection of D.O.C. Cir\u00f2 and Melissa<\/a> of which we are partners.
