Discovering the wonders of Salento: Baia dei Turchi.
Masseria Capoforte isn’t just great wine; it’s also a wonderful place to explore, a unique type of pleasure which extends beyond the glass, and one which can lead you to unexpected destinations and irresistible landscapes. Salento, the land which brings our wines to life, is an eternal territory which fills visitors with emotion thanks to its boundless beauty, all for you to discover. Baia dei Turchi is one of these places, one of the most beautiful bays of the area. A stretch of fine white sand flanked by rich Mediterranean vegetation, this beach is located just a few kilometres north of Otranto where, as local lore has it, Turkish warriors docked and came ashore during a siege on the city in the 15th century. Sandy and pristine, the bay is part of the prized, protected oasis of the Alimini Lakes. One of the most important ecosystems in Salento and Puglia overall, it’s no coincidence that both areas are classified as “Special Area of Conservation”. Such a paradise leaves nothing to be envied of the world’s most in-vogue international destinations. You just have to go …to Salento!
