Negroamaro

VINIFICATION: The maceration lasts 12-14 days in 45 quintal steel vats at a controlled temperature of 25°C, with frequent pumping over in order to extract the aromatic and coloring substances and at the same time soften the tannic mass. TASTING NOTES Pure Negroamaro, aged in large oak barrels, has an intense and impenetrable red colour. On the nose, hints of ripe cherry, tobacco and carob are perceived. On the palate it is full-bodied, with a great structure with accentuated tannins that balance well with the alcohol and the vanilla notes typical of wines aged in wood.

The softness of its long flavor closes with a pleasant bitter vein of the vine from which it derives: Negroamaro. GRAPE VARIETIES: Negroamaro 100%
