TERRITORY
Salento is identified by three climatic elements: the sun, creator of
generous sugar levels, the sea, responsible for the minerality of the wines,
and the wind that makes this territory naturally free from diseases and
particularly suitable for the production of "natural" wines.
Characterized by extensive flat areas and modest hilly reliefs,
Salento is geologically made up of a medium limestone structure
dough.

GRAPE VARIETY
Negroamaro, native to Puglia, is the black grape variety
prince of Salento. His origins are very ancient (8th century BC), he must
probably its name from the terms “niger” (Latin) and “mavros” (Greek)
which both mean black. The great versatility makes it
suitable for all types of winemaking.
