TENUTE BELLAMARINA, WINERY, PUGLIA, ITALY
“The origins of the winery are documented since the 16th
century and with even older roots, the history
of Tenute Bellamarina has always been shaped
by women. These figures have carried a legacy
of strength and dedication that continues
today.”
“Our existence is first recorded in a document from 1500, when the
estate became the property of Isabella Marino, from whom it still
takes its name.
Since then, it has been preserved and passed down through
generations of women, shaping not only the management but
also the spirit of the place. The founder of Tenute Bellamarina was
raised with a deep passion for agriculture, instilled from childhood
by her grandfather.
Her career began with a strong commitment to agricultural
management, soon evolving into viticulture. She started
collaborating with other wineries sharing her grapes, cultivated
with dedication and respect for our land. Over time, her passion
for viticulture merged with a growing sensitivity to the territory,
leading her to embrace organic farming.
She believed a sustainable approach was essential to producing
high-quality wines while respecting the environment.”
Tenute Bellamarina spans nearly 70 hectares of meticulously maintained vineyards that are cultivated exclusively using organic methods. They grow a diverse range of grape varieties, including the well-known Primitivo DOP di Manduria, Negroamaro, Fiano di Avellino, and Lambrusco. This careful selection of varieties reflects their unwavering commitment to sustainable practices and the production of high-quality viticulture that respects the environment.
Sustainability
Sustainability is at the very heart of the company philosophy, and this commitment is reflected in every single aspect of our operations, from the vineyard to the winery. The dedication to sustainable practices begins with carefully cultivating all grapes according to organic farming principles, which means they consciously avoid the use of harmful pesticides, herbicides, and chemical fertilizers. Instead, they favor natural methods that actively support soil health and enhance biodiversity within our ecosystem. In their fully automated and digitized 4.0 winery, they have the capability to precisely monitor and control all vinification conditions. This advanced technology significantly reduces waste and improves energy efficiency, thereby allowing Bellamarina to produce high-quality wines with minimal environmental impact. Furthermore, they actively work to reduce CO2 emissions by utilizing renewable energy sources whenever possible and implementing various practices aimed at reducing both energy and water consumption throughout our processes.
Vision
The vision of the company centers on continuous improvement that is fostered through innovative practices and a profound connection with both the land and the local community. Their primary goal is to enhance the quality of the locally produced wines that we offer. They invest continually in research and innovation, meticulously selecting the very best grapes and soils to guarantee a product of exceptional quality that truly reflects the richness and diversity found within the territory. Their core values encompass passion, tradition, quality, sustainability, and authenticity. For us, the future of wine resides not only within the glass but also firmly in the hearts of those who dedicate themselves to its production and the land from which it originates.
In May 2024, with the highly anticipated inauguration of the brand new winery, a significant new era began for Bellamarina company. Their mission now encompasses not only high-quality wine production but also the creation of a welcoming meeting place for enthusiasts, industry experts, and anyone curious about this fascinating world of winemaking. They aim to share their exceptional wines with a broader audience at affordable prices, ensuring that everyone can enjoy the rich experiences that come with every bottle.
