HISTORICAL AND TECHNICAL NOTES
It is no surprise to discover that our Salice Salentino Bianco DOP is made from Chardonnay grapes (as legally required). In fact the Chardonnay grape has always been considered as one of the finest white wine grape varieties in the world. The vine has the great ability of being able to adapt itself to many different zones of the world with excellent results. In this case the Salento region with deep alluvial soils mixed with limestone provides an ideal location.
The result is providential; our Tinaia is a superbly rich wine made from selected garpes harvested in August and then coldmacerated at 4°C for 24 hours. The maturation period takes place in oak to complement the stucture and the aromas of the finished wine.
