| Grape varieties |
90% Negro Amaro, 10% Malvasia Nera |
| Origin |
Province of Brindisi, Southern Apulia. The Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera grapes are carefully selected from low-yielding vineyards. |
| Cultivation system |
Guyot, and head-training. |
| Harvest |
By hand, in late September. |
| Vinification |
After destemming, the grapes are not crushed, allowing them to remain intact, reducing damage to the skins and optimizing colour extraction. The two grape varieties are fermented together in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 23-25°C for 8-10 days. Frequent pump-overs and delestage are carried out during fermentation to achieve soft aromas and gentle tannins extraction. After racking, malolactic fermentation is induced. |
| Ageing |
Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is racked and placed in second and third passage 500-litre tonneaux barrels and left there to age for 12 months. |
| Pairing |
It pairs well with various foods, from meat-based pasta dishes to hard cheeses and game. |
