TERRITORY: The Salento region is identified by three climatic elements: the sun, the architect that creates generous degrees of sugar, the sea, responsible for the minerality of the wines, and the wind that makes this area naturally free of disease and particularly suitable for the production of “natural” wines. Characterized by extensive flat areas and modest hilly reliefs, the Salento region is geologically constituted by a calcareous structure of medium texture.<\/p>\n
VARIETY INFORMATION: A blend of three ancient Salento grapes: Negroamaro, likely owes its name to the terms “niger” (Latin) and “mavros” (Greek) which both refer to the colour black. Its great versatility makes it suitable for all types of winemaking. Sangiovese is the most cultivated variety in Italy, the daughter of an ancient cross between Negrodolce and Ciliegiolo, both varieties are native grapes of Puglia. Malvasia Nera is a grape variety with great softness and aroma, it is best for balancing out the angular qualities of the other two grapes.<\/p>\n
