TERRITORY OF ORIGIN:

TERROR

We are in Salento, in the southernmost area of ​​Puglia . The ancient Land of Otranto, famous for its thousand-year history closely linked to the Mediterranean Sea which bathes it. Salento is one of the regions in Italy where the winemaking tradition has distant roots , as quality wine has been produced here for 3000 years. The warm climate and diversity of soils are ideal places for growing vines. The main vines are: Negroamaro and Primitivo. Negroamaro is a full-bodied red wine, with a full structure and a brilliant colour. On the nose it has a strong but at the same time fruity aroma, with a slightly bitter and rounded taste. These characteristics are conferred by the grape variety : Negroamaro has rather large grapes, very dark in color and with sweet, juicy pulp. The harvest is quite late and the bottle aging is rapid (from 6 to 12 months). The past used for the production of numerous wines, in recent years there is a growing trend towards its vinification in purity, increasingly appreciated for its elegance.

CELLAR
