A full-bodied, structured wine with an enigmatic character. Deep red in the glass, with garnet highlights and purplish hints.
Intense, balsamic, heady aromas; the palate is dominated by dark forest fruits, plum and blackberry, with hints of earthiness, meadow herbs and sea breeze.
Underestimated for many years, this variety’s complex, structured personality has made it a world-renowned icon of Salento winemaking.
Its balance and elegance play well with bold flavours: spiced roast meats, stews, and full-flavoured pasta dishes, red-fruit desserts.
The vines are upwards trained, Guyot pruned and harvested strictly by hand. In a unique process, the must is macerated with almond peels, another precious crop grown in the Valle d’Itria.
