| Taste | Virgil who exhaled his soul in Brindisi, to whom this wine is dedicated with the name of one of his characters, here takes us neither to purgatory nor to hell. He guides us along the paths of taste, towards the centre of the liquid nucleus: flashes of fresh acidity, a glimpse on a canvas of fine textures, which insists on accompanying us in our memory for its immediate pleasantness, without too many ifs and buts. |
| Pairings | Try this ottanvianello with chickpea hummus accompanied by taralli, maybe followed by cavatelli (small gnocchi from Bari) with olives and rocket, and to finish guinea-fowl breasts in pomegranate juice. |

Description
A tribute to the link between Virgil and Brindisi: Lamo is a character from the Aeneid, one of the fourteen commanders chosen by Turno, the supreme leader of the army facing the war against Aeneas and his men who landed in Latium after the fall of Troy. In the poem, together with his companions, Lamo leads the assault on the citadel controlled by the Trojan veterans.

Both the traditions of Salento and a vibrant entrepreneurial spirit have been passed down from Tommaso to his son, Luigi, who has since taken over with the support of his wife, Romina. Luigi has undertaken this entrepreneurial legacy, pouring all of his passion into the family’s winery and making it a global ambassador of Apulian viticulture.
After all, winemaking is an ancient art here in Jaddico: over the years, archaeologists have brought to light a Roman manor house filled with kilns, where Visellio—the owner of the estate—fired the amphorae used to export his wine to the four corners of the Roman Empire. At the time, this land was home to extensive vineyards and served as an important manufacturing center for wine containers.
