LE CAMARDE NEGROAMARO & PRIMITIVO SALENTO ROSSO IGT

The name is reminiscent of carefree young people’s summer parties on the Salento beaches Straw-coloured wine with pale green highlights. Hints of green apple and elderberry in the mouth with a pleasant mineral finish.

Verdeca is one of the historical Puglia grape varieties. Its name comes from the particular pale green colour of the grape, which is also typical of the wine. The best type of soil for verdeca is shallow calcareous rock. In the glass the nose shows hints of green apple, lemon and star anise. Sensations of salt with good balance and finesse on the palate.

Chardonnay is cultivated all around the world, even though it has different features (taste, hints, colour and personality) depending on the soil where it is cultivated. DieciAnni Chardonnay is a straw-coloured wine; the palate is full flavoured with hints of pear, pineapple, aromatic herbs and spicy notes. On the finish it is well balanced.

Rosés have always represented the flagship of the Apulian wine renaissance. Like Rosarò, the best rosé wine in Italy in 2018 and one of the few with a protected designation of origin in Salento. It is coral pink in color and extraordinarily bright. Intriguing to the nose with pleasant nuances of pink grapefruit, strawberry and peach. Persistent finish with citrus and balsamic notes.

WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF? 

The tasting includes the tasting of 5 wines (Rosarò Rosato Salice Salentino Negroamaro DOP + Diecianni Negroamaro Salento IGP + Diecianni Malvasia Nera Salento IGP + Cupone Salice Salentino Negroamaro Riserva DOP + Pietrafinita Primitivo di Manduria DOP) and a cold platter of local meats and cheese. During the tasting we will illustrate the cultivation and vinification techniques of negroamaro and black malvasia and primitivo, both in red and rosé. The experience is made even more interesting by the narration of anecdotes, stories and curiosities such as that of Leonardo da Vinci's filling cap.

The denomination Salice Salentino Negroamaro is one of the first born in Puglia: in fact, it was established in April 1974. The geographical area dedicated to the production of this important DOP includes a total of 7 municipalities in Northern Salento including Guagnano. The Diecianni Salice Salentino Negroamaro has a compact red color with delicate garnet hues. The sensory profile is complex: it ranges from the typical notes of tobacco and vanilla. In the mouth it expresses sensations of bitter almond on a powerful tannin. Of these magnums, vintage 2016, only 762 bottles were produced and they are all sold with a certificate of authenticity.

If you are looking for tradition and respect for the territory, this reserve wine will not betray your expectations. It is a wine with an austere and unique character obtained from ancient negroamaro “Alberelli”. Particularly bright red and good consistency. Notes of tobacco, nuts and Mediterranean herbs on the nose. Soft tannins and balsamic notes on the palate.

The rosè wines have always been a firm point for the oenological renaissance of Puglia. Rosarò, selected as the best rose wine in Italy in 2018, is one of the few in Salento qualifying for DOP status. Coral pink colour with an extraordinary brightness. Intriguing on the nose, with pleasant hints of pink grapefruit, strawberry and peach. Hints of balsamic and citrus fruits on the palate, while the finish is long and persistent.

The meeting point is the cellar, located in the town. We will then drive to the vineyards of negroamaro cultivated according to the ancient "alberello" system, just outside the town. We will then continue the visit to the "vignesalve", organic vineyards, where you can visit an ancient well of Salento with a circular plan, dug by hand and built in tuff and carparo from Lecce. We continue with the artistic-existential hermitage of a famous painter from Guagnano (Vincent) to surprise the eyes and soul by admiring the beautiful Gaudian-style building and its characteristic paintings.

This is a fascinating and rewarding Salento Negromaro, worth keeping  in the cellar to drink a glass at just the right moment. Intense red wine with an explosion of carob and raisins on the nose; spicy hints of black pepper and tobacco in the mouth. The finish is long with firm structure.
