CUPONE SALICE SALENTINO NEGROAMARO RISERVA DOC 2006 (5L)

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.

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.

Malvasia Bianca is a vineyard that has always been present in Salento. In particular, these few magnum bottles (12 in total) were obtained from an ancient manor vineyard and vinified without the aid of modern techniques such as temperature control. With a good body and structure (alcoholic content 14.5% vol.) it is golden yellow in color with hints of almond and aromatic herbs. Each bottle is sold with a certificate of authenticity.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. 

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.

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 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;spicyhints of black pepper and tobacco in the mouth.The finish is long with firm structure.
