This wine is straw yellow in colour with golden reflections. It has lifted aromas of peaches and stone fruit with some citrus notes, which follow on to the palate. This wine is crisp with a refreshing acidity.
The vineyards for this wine are situated in the communes of Manduria and Sava in the Salento Peninsula. These sites receive perfect sun exposure, and production is contained to less than the potential yields, which ensures only the best quality grapes are selected. The red soils are comprised of calcerous clay making them rich in iron, minerals and nutrients. Almost 80% of the grapes come from old bush vines while the remainder come from trained vines that are at least 20 years old.
The grapes were gently pressed at very low temperatures to preserve the fresh quality of the fruit. The wines went through a cold pre-fermentation clarification before being fermented with selected yeasts in stainless steel. The wine remained on its lees for 2-3 months in tank before bottling.
This is Farnese’s venture in Puglia. The wines are made at two wineries in the province of Taranto on the western flank of Salento.
