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.

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. It is best expressed with cured meats, grilled meats and meat sauce.

Aglianico, brought to Italy by the Greeks as early as the 6th century aC , takes its name from the "Vitis Hellenica", whose qualities are repeatedly sung in the odes of Horace and in the writings of masters consigned to history such as Pliny and Virgil. The high complexity and deep structure of Aglianico, grown directly in the company's vineyards, give Altavilla an extraordinary aptitude for aging in the bottle.

The grape variety chosen for the spumante base of Bolla d'Oro is the "Bombino Bianco". Its ancient origins probably date back to the challenge of Barletta and the Spaniards. It prefers deep, draining soils and is certainly one of the most interesting grapes for sparkling wine. Bolla D'oro is born from the application of the long charmat method, with a fermentation period of no less than 40 days sur lie which gives an absolutely unique and original roundness and fullness to the tasting (texture), enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. Vin de fete, with a great personality and an intriguing bouquet in which notes of apricot and white peach predominate with white flowers (blossom) and dried fruit intruding on the finish.

A Primitivo expression of its land, Acquaviva delle Fonti, of which it tells the long winemaking tradition, but also the history and legends; like that of the Mascheroni, guardians of the monumental Palazzo De Mari. Bright red color with violet reflections and intense aromas of small red fruits. On the palate it is fresh, sapid and rightly tannic, with a soft and fruity finish. Pairings Excellent table wine, it finds the best combination with the typical dishes of Mediterranean cuisine.

Pairings Ideal with meat sauce, roasts, aged cheeses and Mediterranean dishes.

W'Heart! in the rosé version it is an excellent wine produced with 100% Primitivo grapes. The harvest is done manually in the first ten days of September. After destemming, fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature, and before soft pressing, the must is left to macerate on the skins for about 10 hours. A rosé that excites the eye with its splendid intense coral color with violet reflections. It offers the nose sweetly fruity hints mixed with delicate floral notes. On the palate it has a pleasant freshness. A perfect aperitif glass that also lends itself beautifully to fish-based dishes.

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. AGING: The wine is aged in steel tanks for one year. Before bottling, the wine is filtered, but not cold stabilized, in order to safeguard the integrity of the product. The permanence in the bottle before being marketed lasts 6 months, in aging rooms completely dug out of the limestone rock typical of the area where it was born. TASTING NOTES The nose has clear hints of fresh fruit, plums and strawberries. Strong, full, sweet and very vinous on the palate. Malicchia Mapicchia is a meditation wine ready for any type of combination: from sweets to dry pasta, to aged, aromatic, spicy or blue cheeses, perhaps served with jams to create a splendid contrast between the strong and the sweet taste. Ideal also accompanied by main courses of meat seasoned with fruit-based sauces.
