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. Both reserves are elevated in wood for six months. Vereto is the name of our Negroamaro vineyard located on the Iore estate in San Pancrazio Salentino. The soft and silky tannin is an unequivocal declaration of origin of the pure Negroamaro.
Flaminio is the interpretation that the Vallone family gives to native vineyards. The line takes its name from the historic Flaminio vineyards from which they are produced and which stand on an ancient Messapian settlement on the outskirts of San Pietro Vernotico. It is our ever-evolving tradition. Intense colors and fruity aromas. Vine as generous as it is approximate at a young age due to its productive exuberance. 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.
The line takes its name from the Adriatic side, where the Vallone vineyards extend. The Typical colors of the Adriatic coast composed of the intense blue of the sea and the continuous alternation of the green-gold of the olive leaves moved by the wind. Here in these few words the spirit of the Walloon slope is enclosed. Unmistakable dark red with violet reflections, from the trendiest vine of Puglia, an enveloping wine that is easy to approach.

I get up very early and leave in the dark. I'm going to the vineyard. Sometimes I say where, sometimes it remains a secret. The mornings I go to Vigneto Prima Mano I want to be alone.

THE PRODUCTION OF RED WINE
Red wine is obtained from red grapes, thanks to a production process called "red vinification". This process involves contact between the pomace (peels and seed residues) and must during the fermentation phase
One of the first steps in producing a red wine is choosing the harvest period. The grapes are harvested when the sugar content reached is what the winemaker deems necessary to produce the desired alcohol content.
After harvesting, the bunches arrive in the cellar where the stalks are removed (destemming) before the grapes are pressed to obtain the must.
Maceration releases polyphenols, particularly anthocyanins, from the skins, which give the must its red color. Tannins are produced from the grape seeds. Maceration lasts approximately 10-15 days.
Meanwhile, alcoholic fermentation begins, triggered by yeasts present in the skins or by added yeasts. This natural process is favored by an increase in temperature, which, however, must be maintained between 25 and 30°C so as not to affect the quality of the wine.
During this process, the pomace may form a surface layer that prevents contact with the liquid, potentially leading to the development of acetic acid. However, several techniques are available to winemakers to address this problem.
After alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation occurs, which involves the transformation of malic acid into lactic acid. This is a crucial step in the vinification of red wines because it enhances their smoothness and smoothes out any rough edges and harshness.
The must has now transformed into wine, but it must be racked, that is, the removal of residues, which can be accomplished through filtration or static decantation. This latter, less invasive method involves lowering the temperature in the tanks so that the substances to be eliminated settle to the bottom.
Once “cleaned”, the wine is ready for refinement,whose minimum duration is established by the DOC specifications, This can take place in steel tanks, concrete vats, large barrels, or small barrels or barriques. Once the maturation process is complete, bottling takes place: the wine begins its maturation in the bottle and, after a possible further aging period in the cellar, is released for sale.
