Description
A still red from Puglia, 14% ABV, produced by Gianfranco Fino. Vintage 2023. A Negroamaro that embodies the passion and dedication of Gianfranco Fino, a winemaker steeped in tradition. The vines, trained using the alberello system, grow on red clay-limestone soils, caressed by the sea breeze. Maceration in 70 hl stainless steel vats, skin-must contact for three to four weeks, and aging in wood for 12 months. Aromas of wild rose, Mediterranean scrub, and hints of sweet cocoa and tobacco. Bright ruby red color. Warm, fresh, and incredibly soft with remarkably fine tannins, a wine that captivates from the first sip.
