These are the words of Fortune Italia to describe Alessandra Quarta: "It seems that from her father Claudio - a researcher and manager in the field of biotechnology who chose life in the vineyard in 2005 - Alessandra Quarta has inherited so much love for studying and training as much as the passion for the wines of the South". Raised in Como and educated between Philadelphia and Buenos Aires, she finished her studies at Bocconi and envisioned a career in the international cooperation and development sector. But without taking into account the charm of Puglia in the summer and the deep gratifications that work in the cellar, sooner or later, returns.

At the age of 24 she chooses to enter the management of the three family estates: Cantina Sanpaolo, Tenute Eméra and Cantina Moros, located between Campania and Puglia. She observes and explores each phase of the production cycle to then conceive a wine that reconciles the expression of the territory - that of Marina di Lizzano, a short distance from Taranto - with the principles of sustainability and attention to social issues. In fact, by purchasing your Qu.Ale Salento Rosso Igp you are helping to preserve the natural area of the Salina dei Monaci in Manduria and some other non-profit organizations to which part of the revenues are donated ”.
