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.

WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF? 

Throughout the whole year, the winery offers the tasting of its wines in unusual and, at the same time, original contexts. Tasting the wines during a spectacular sunset in the vineyards, a bachelorette wine tasting party, a team building experience organized for the employees and much more! 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.

Tradition and respect for the land can be found in this riserva wine. Cupone has a unique and austere character obtained by using grapes from old negroamaro bush-vines. A particularly bright and full-bodied red wine; hints of tobacco, nuts and Mediterranean herbs on the nose; soft tannins and balsamic hints on the palate.

“Salice Salentino Negroamaro” is one of the first denominations created in Puglia; it was, in fact, established in April 1974. The geographical area for the production of this important DOP comprises 7 towns in the north of the Salento region of which Guagnano is one. DieciAnni Salice Salentino Negroamaro has a dense colour with soft garnet-coloured shades. The nose is complex and suggestive of flavours ranging from the typical hint of tobacco to vanilla. On the palate are hints of bitter almond and powerful tannins.

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.

All grape varieties have their own story and primitivo is no exception: from Gioia del Colle it travelled to Manduria and then to Guagnano. Each Primitivo has different characteristics: DieciAnni Primitivo is an elegant and opulent wine. It has a dense red colour with intense violet tints. Voluptuous and persistent on the nose with a penetrating and intriguing perfume of violet. Soft tannins enhance the hints of liquorice, black cherry and plum.

Negroamaro is the most widely planted grape variety in Puglia. Both its origins and name are uncertain. The name may  derive from the local dialect  (niuru maru) or indeed from the combination of the Latin word niger and the Greek mavros, both indicating the typical black colour of the grapes. DieciAnni Negroamaro is a deep red colour wine with marked fragrances of plum and cherry on the nose. The palate is full bodied and well-balanced supported by elegant tannins.

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.
