Description

Negroamaro comes from a gentle pressing that precedes fermentation in steel, together with a fifteen-day maceration on the skins and eight to ten months of ageing in barrel.

The colour is an intense ruby red. The nose reveals deep, well-defined aromas of red fruit, while the palate is intense, soft and balanced, with a steady flavour progression.

"Salento in a glass: intense, earthy, uncompromising."

The finish is composed and clean, keeping alive the fruity notes that mark the whole tasting.
