Clear, transparent, ruby red color. Aromas of red berries and other forest fruits, black pepper, vegetal notes, soft aromatic herbs and a fine touch of balsamic. Nice balance between fruit and structure. Reserva style that is easy to enjoy and where the beautifully interwoven wood remains modest in the background. Wonderfully long and balanced final.

Different types of pasta with meat or meat sauce, risotto, beef Carpaccio, Filet Pur or other fine meats and medium-aged cheeses.

climate

Warm maritime climate (Mediterranean). Warm dry summers influenced by the sirocco absorbing moisture from the sea during its journey from the Sahara to the north.

soil

DOC Salice Salentino - The soil consists largely of terra rossa (ferrous clay with sand) with a lower layer of limestone. Ideal for the grapevine.

vinification

Minimum 75% Negroamaro (but usually more) required. Possibly supplemented with Malvasia Nera. After gentle bruising, the fermentation is started in stainless steel vats at a controlled temperature of 26-28°C. The wine is then aged in a mix of large and older barrels for several months. Then comes the bottling.
