The soil where these grapes are grown, on the Tenuta Flaminio estate, is calcareous and clayey. The Negro Amaro grapes are harvested from old saplings, approximately 70-80 years old, and \u003cb\u003edried naturally\u003c\/b\u003e on racks thanks to the area's favorable mild climate, bathed in breezes from the nearby sea and abundant sunny days. This natural drying technique gives this wine its name: \u003cb\u003eGraticciaia\u003c\/b\u003e, in fact, is the name given to the mats where the grapes are placed during this process. The grapes are harvested by hand towards the middle or end of September, depending on the vintage, and left to dry on the Castel Serranova estate; The \u003cb\u003edrying times\u003c\/b\u003e vary depending on the weather conditions but do not exceed a month. After this period, in the middle of autumn, the winemaking process begins: first fermentation, then maturation in steel for about two years, and finally a year of aging in \u003cb\u003eAllier and Nevers oak barrels\u003c\/b\u003e. Vallone Graticciaia is one of the iconic \u003cb\u003eIGT\u003c\/b\u003e wines of Salento and is produced only in the best vintages, guaranteeing a quality product that, in fact, has been recognized over the years with several important awards from expert sommeliers: the 5 Grappoli di Bibenda, 3 Stelle Veronelli, 4 Viti Vitae AIS, and other important international recognitions.","brand":"Vallone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47246057668779,"sku":"61950","price":63.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-dk\/products\/vallone-graticciaia-2020","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
