DIECIANNI PRIMITIVO IGT SALENTO

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.

This wine remains engraved in the memory in the same way as our ancestors stuck the "pietrefinite" into the ground, centuries-old guardians of the geographical limit of their vineyards. Ruby red with purple waves. In the nose it offers sensations of black cherry and licorice. In the mouth an endless finish of cocoa and almond fig. The first vintage produced was 2011.

Chardonnay is a vine present everywhere in the world but the wines it gives us are not the same at all. Each of them has taste, aromas, color and personality that speak of the area in which it is grown. Like this Diecianni: a straw yellow wine that releases notes of pear, pineapple and aromatic herbs. Extraordinary on the palate with a spicy entrance and a finish with good sapidity.

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.

The box contains a bottle of Pietrafinita Primitivo di Manduria Dop, one of Cupone Salice Salentino Negroamaro Riserva Dop and one of Nero di Velluto Negroamaro IGP Salento.

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.

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. Only 25 magnum bottles (of the vintage 2006) were produced and all the bottles have their own certificate of authenticity.

WHAT DOES IT CONSIST OF? 

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 wine is produced with grapes from three vineyards located in an area named Camarda. We think of them as three old sisters (Le Camarde is the plural noun of Camarda) reliably giving us great wines every year. When young it is a dense ruby-red wine with a complex nose with hints of potpourri and dried flowers. Coffee and dark chocolate on the palate with a long finish supported by silky tannins.

Cuccimanne' is the abbreviated name by which the wagtail is know in Salento, a small bird present in the Susumaniello vineyards. 

Wine with a pale pink colour. On the nose it releases Mediterranean fruits. In the mouth it presents notes of currant and raspberry.
