NERO DI VELLUTO NEGROAMARO IGT SALENTO

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.

This extraordinary wine remains engraved on the memory just like the “pietrefinite”, or boundary stones, which have remained for centuries where our ancestors  placed them to mark the borders of their vineyards. Ruby-red wine with purple tints. Hints of black cherry and liquorice on the nose. Cocoa and almond-stuffed figs on the mouth and a lengthy finish.

This wine is made with grapes from three vineyards in the Camarda district. We call them Le Camarde as if they were old sisters who tirelessly give us great wines every year. When young it has a deep red color and a complex sensory profile with hints of dried flower pot pourri. Notes of coffee and dark chocolate on the palate. Long finish supported by silky tannins. The first vintage of this wine we have produced was 2002.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Whatever is the exact historical origin of a rosè wine, this wine can represent a real oenological masterpiece for every winery: for colour, flavours and taste.
Terramare is an involving wine with a young taste: it is peach blossom pink with a good consistence. Pleasantly fruity in the nose with sensations of cherry and mineral hints. Freshness and citrus fruits hints in the mouth.

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.

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.    

In Salento, the celebration wine of choice is Malvasia Nera. DieciAnni Malvasia Nera is a single varietal wine vinified without any contact with oak in order to enhance the natural fragrance of the fruit. DieciAnni Malvasia Nera is an intense ruby-red colour wine; on the nose are hints of dewberry, blood orange and violet. The palate is fresh with  hints of cherry and blueberry. The wine is mouth-filling with supple tannins.
