Claudio and Alessandra, father and daughter, the South in their blood mixed with an international outlook, make three masterpieces of winemaking art in Puglia and Campania that weave together autochthony, landscape and art: Tenute Eméra, Cantina Sanpaolo and the small Moros. “I leave New York and the Nasdaq to rediscover the flavor of my land.” It is 2005, at the height of the success of a career that has taken him around the world, Claudio Quarta decides to stop. After a life spent as a biologist, geneticist and microbiologist, developing innovative biotechnologies that could contribute to the improvement of human life, he feels the desire to carry out an ambitious project for his South. Always passionate about wine, he refuses the global homologation that for decades has imposed “soulless” wines and decides to return to Italy to devote himself to the production of authentic wines capable of telling the story https://claudioquarta.it/vini-e-cantine / estates-emera / territories of origin. He is ready to begin his “second life” as a winemaker. After a few years, Alessandra also falls in love with this project and makes it her own.
