The tasting of a wine is a unique and extraordinary experience when it is done directly in the cellar of the winemaker. Slowly, its nuances, smells, characteristics and, above all, its history are gathered.
Through the different wine experiences we offer you will discover where negroamaro is born, the most important Apulian vine; you will visit the organic vineyard saved from the speculation of photovoltaic fields; you will hike through the sunny vineyards of black Malvasia of Lecce and we will tell you where the long journey of Nero di Velluto, the most awarded and well-known wine of the Feudi di Guagnano winery, began.
SIGNOR NEGROAMARO
Negroamaro is the most widespread grape variety in Puglia, but its true history is not yet known. Its name itself has uncertain origins: it is believed that it comes from the dialectal terms “niuru maru” (black and bitter) or from the combination of the Latin word niger and mavros, both indicating the typical black color of the grapes. This experience will lead you to discover some of the most important and award-winning wines of the cellar, expressed in many different types of rosé and red in purity. The cultivation techniques used in Salento, the refinement of the native Negroamaro and Primitivo wines will be illustrated

LA MARENNA
In Salento the Marenna stands for snack. It is a term borrowed from the Neapolitan dialect at the time of Masaniello. The origin of the name is linked to the sea and sailors: in fact, at that time, one of the main ingredients of this snack consisted of anchovies, large quantities of which were caught and salted at home. In the peasant world, however, Marenna meant a kind of quick and frugal breakfast, which was eaten in the shade of a large tree or in a pagghiara (rural construction made with stones) and made with frisa (ancient bread for sailors). Otherwise, a slice of durum wheat bread with cherry tomatoes (in winter, the yellow "pendula" ones), dried vegetables such as courgettes and aubergines, oregano and, at will, with salted anchovies and spring onion. Everything was dressed with good olive oil. With us, in the cellar, the Marenna is offered in different variations, depending on the season and the availability of fresh products.

LET’S DRINK IT STRANGE
Throughout the whole year, the cellar offers the tasting of its wines in unusual and, at the same time, original contexts: for example, in the vineyard during a spectacular sunset or to celebrate the bachelorette party or even for corporate events organized for the employees and family members in particular periods of the year. This is an original and strange way of drinking wine. Remember what Jessica said to Ivano in the film Viaggi di Nozze directed and starring by Carlo Verdone? Well, the slogan "Let's Drink It Strange" is inspired by the famous "Famolo Strano" of the bizarre Roman couple.
