GRAPES

Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera

HISTORICAL AND TECHNICAL NOTES

The flower of our production as well as a symbol of excellence and in the selection of the grapes Selvarossa is also a star and the essence of the Salento region; a wine which captures the warmth and flavours of the Mediterranean. Negroamaro has 3000 years of history in the region during which it has evolved to give wines with solid tannins and a deep, rich almost black colour giving rise to its name in local dialect “niuru maru”. The Malvasia Nera by contrast is noted for its elegance and soft fruity character. Both varieties are grown in the Alberello style on the red baked clay soils and hand-harvested into cases; some are then dried in the cellars to concentrate the sugars and flavours and to enrich the structure. The Selvarossa is aged for 9 months in French oak barriques before a final ageing in bottle .
