Description

A tribute to the connection between the Roman poet Virgil and Brindisi: Lamus is a character from the Aeneid, one of the fourteen commanders chosen by Turnus, supreme leader of the army waging war against Aeneas and his men who landed in Italy after the fall of Troy. In the epic poem, Lamus and his companions lead the assault on the citadel controlled by the Trojans.

Details

Profumo

Perfume

A bed of roses, between the liquorice sticks, the odd blackberry, nutmeg flowers and red cherries here and there. You’re tempted to just dive inside.

Colore

Color

Lively, brilliant ruby red.

Gusto

Taste

This wine pays homage to Virgil, who passed away in Brindisi, taking its name from one of his characters, and he guides us neither to Purgatory nor to Hell. He leads us through this tasting journey, towards its liquid centre: flashes of fresh acidity, a tear in an otherwise finely woven canvas, which insists on accompanying us, impressing this immediate enjoyment to memory, without too many ifs and buts.

Serve at:

16 - 18 °C.

Longevity:

05 - 10 years

Decanting time:

1 hour

Full Bodied and Very Aged Red Wines

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.

  • Hectares: 180
Tenute Rubino is a story of a family’s deep love for a land and its rediscovery. The winery was established in the early 1980s by Tommaso Rubino—the first to recognize the modern viticultural potential of a territory with such an important past.

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.

Tenute Rubino is an Apulian brand with a strong international market presence. The company has consistently and successfully exported its labels to 20 countries such as the US, Canada and Brazil.
