HISTORICAL AND TECHNICAL NOTES
Amaluna is the first Sparkling Wine to be made in Salento! Made using the Charmat method from 100% Negroamaro grapes and the first wine to be made in our new sparkling-wine facility. It was a challenge that we had welcomed and which we won thanks to the excellence of the Negroamaro; our typical local grape “par excellence”. The name Amaluna celebrates the moon; the symbol of femininity and of creation so important to the farmers with their hopes and desires.
This first Salento produced fizz is suitable for all ages and occasions; pleasing to the expert and the amateur alike. The wonderful Negroamaro grapes are picked at the end of August to preserve their crisp acidity and then vinified without the stalks using the Charmat method.
