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 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.

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.

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.  

Vegamaro is a pun with the words “vegan” and “negroamaro” and it is the first vegan negroamaro in the world. The whole production process, from the vine to the bottle, is done following a rigorous protocol. The grapes are cultivated avoiding manure, herbicide with an animal origin and pesticide. During the vinification process only vegetal substances are used. Bright red ruby wine; on the nose it is rich in crisp red fruits, with hints of sweet spices and roasted tobacco. Well-balanced, full bodied and elegant in the mouth with good tannic structure that enhances the flavour through to the long 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.

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.

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.

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.  

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.

One of the most intriguing and fascinating negroamaro. This is why it is always worth keeping a good supply in the cellar to drink a glass of it at the right time. It is a wine with an intense red colour. The nose explodes with hints of carob and raisins. In the mouth it has spicy notes of black pepper and tobacco. The finish is long and structured. The first vintage produced was 2002 in 2,298 bottles. All bottles are numbered by hand.

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.
