CUPONE SALICE SALENTINO NEGROAMARO RISERVA DOC 2006 (5L)

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.  

Packaged in an elegant cardboard case containing a bottle of Diecianni Primitivo Salento IGT decorated with a satin bow. The package can also contain other bottles from the Feudi di Guagnano catalogue and can be set up with customized labels.

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.

The name is reminiscent of carefree young people’s summer parties on the Salento beaches. Intense pink colour wine with fruity hints. On the palate note of pomegranate with a balanced and elegant pèttilant.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
