NEGROAMARO SALENTO IGT

Salento.
The heel of the boot, squeezed between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas. Country of the baroque and of the taranta. Land rich in history and aimed at the future. Like the rays of sunshine which illuminate it and make it unique. Like its wines.

The grapes: 100% negroamaro.

The vineyard: parcels trained by the alberello pugliese and cordone speronato systems on deep, dry soil of limestone-clay-silica nature.

The vinification: towards the middle of September the grapes are picked very early in the morning and are immediately carried to the cellar to be pressed. The vinification is carried out at a controlled temperature with 10 days maceration and frequent remontages.

The malolactic fermentation having taken place, the wine develops in steel until June.

The wine: garnet-red colour; intense bouquet; full, round, slightly bitter flavour, with excellent structure.
