| Story | Masseria Maìme is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Upper Salento not too far from the town of San Pietro Vernotico in the province of Brindisi. The estate extends along the coastline forming a unique countryside of vineyards that lies between woodlands and pine forests stretching out as far as the eye can see until blending into the sea. The most prevalent grape varieties grown here are Negroamaro, Primitivo, Chardonnay and Cabernet Sauvignon. Calafuria is produced from vineyards that extend along the Adriatic coastline for over a kilometer. Its name comes from one of the over 700 bays on the Apulian peninsula. The region boasts a long tradition in the production of rosé wines made from Negroamaro, a variety that best expresses its full potential near the sea. Calafuria is a rosé that is delicate, pleasantly fruity, savory and ample, reflecting the aromas and colors of its home territory, Salento. |
| Origin | Masseria Maìme in San Pietro Vernotico (BR) |
| Harvest | Between September 1st and 17th. |
| Wine making | The grapes were hand harvested, destemmed and gently pressed. The must was transferred into temperature controlled stainless steel vats at 12 °C (54 °F) to favor a natural settling of sediments and clarify the must. Alcoholic fermentation took place at a low temperature of 16 °C (61 °F) to preserve and enhance aromatic compounds. |
| Aging | Calafuria was left to age on the lees in stainless steel tanks for a short period of time before it was bottled and released for sale. |
| Allergens | Contains sulphites |
