It often happens to think of the illustrious personalities who preceded us as owners of the estate; from Raimondo del Balzo Orsini, Prince of Taranto, owner of the estate from 1382 to 1407, to Queen Maria d'Enghein, Countess of Lecce, owner from 1407 to 1464. Please refer to the dedicated section for further historical notes on Serranova Castle. The intense red of the lands reveals a first clue about the oenological orientation of the wines of the estate. This is the place where you can glimpse the characterizing elements of Vallone; the noble soul of the wines, the innovative soul that led to the conception of the production technique of the Graticciaia; the soul that embraces the harmony and beauty generated by the union between the historicity of places and nature. Castel Serranova is a Cru whose grapes come from a vineyard surrounded by dry stone walls aimed at demarcating the threshold between the dynamism of the different elements of the surrounding nature reserve and the placid succession of the seasons which will lead the grapes to ripen. The vineyard, called Vigna Castello, is the origin of the most classic of the Salento blends, namely Negroamaro and Susumaniello with the predominance of the latter. Aged in dedicated French oak tonneaux for 12 months. Notes of leather, spices and Mediterranean scrub follow each other seamlessly in this long-lived wine.

DOCR is the attention that Vallone dedicates to the two most representative denominations of controlled origin of the territory. It is a long journey; 24 months of passion.

As it matures, the overabundance of production suddenly disappears, giving way to grapes capable of expressing olfactory complexity with notes of leather and Mediterranean scrub.

Born from an intuition that brings to light an ancient technique that links past traditions to future visions. The experiment of drying the Negroamaro grapes from the 'Caragnuli' Cru, an 80-year-old Apulian sapling vineyard located in San Pancrazio Salento, began in 1980, thanks to the insistence of the oenologist Severino Garofano who had always believed in versatility and nobility of this vine. In 1986, after 6 years of trying, the first vintage of 'Graticciaia' saw the light. The rest is a success story that gives the dignity that belongs to Negroamaro. After a careful selection of the grapes, we proceed with a light drying, followed by an aging of 12 months in French oak barriques, the last mile is covered in concrete until bottling.
