Le uve, provenienti da vigneti di proprietà in agro di Salice Salentino (Lecce), sono state raccolte manualmente nel mese di settembre e accuratamente selezionate prima della pigiatura. Il mosto ha effettuato una lunga macerazione sulle bucce in serbatoi di acciaio inox a temperatura controllata per più di 20 giorni, per poi svolgere la fermentazione mallolattica. Il vino così ottenuto si affina per 12 mesi in piccole botti, per poi essere imbottigliato e completare l’affinamento in bottiglia per ulteriori 12 mesi.

A robust wine with a velvety, harmonious balance and a persistent fruity finish. Deeply ruby red in colour with intense, elegant fragrances of blackberries and plums. On the palate it is pleasant, well-structured but with a good vinous and ethereal acid balance. Firm yet soft tannins.
Food pairing: red meats, Adriatic fish soups (not too spicy), mixed boiled meats, cooked salamis, and fermented, hard cheeses.
Serving temperature: 18 °C
Recommended glass: a large bowl-shaped glass with an inward-curved rim: the wine can fully breathe, and the glass can be held better in hands. It will help the temperature rise gradually, and aid in the release of the complex fragrances of more structured wines.

Colour: intense ruby-red.
Alcohol: about 14-15%.
