PRODUCTION AREA
Salento, Puglia. The soil is mainly red earth, with a fine texture and a generally calcareous underground with few emerging rocks. The well- known redness of these soils is due to the presence of iron oxides. The climate is characterised by high temperatures all year round, with very little rainfall and a wide temperature range between night and day.
VINIFICATION AND AGEING
Thermo-controlled maceration and alcoholic fermentation for about 10 days with selected yeasts. Aged in French oak barrels for 4 – 6 months.
TASTING NOTES
Very deep purple red, wide and complex to the nose, with notes of spices, soft fruit, and cherry jam. A full-bodied wine, soft and balanced, rich in fine tannins, with a pleasantly long lasting finish.
