Grape Varieties

Vinification
Grapes are grown in Puglia region and are processed with the traditional vinification method. After late harvest, a longer maceration takes place, at around 24-26°C, to allow a higher concentration of polyphenols, thanks to the extended contact with skins. Harvesting the grapes later allows a higher natural alcohol concentration, which along with the longer fermentation and the contact with the skins, make the alcohol volume increase. The result is a weighty red wine with a good balance between acidity and sweetness.
