Severino Garofano
2014
The grapes come from old alberello-trained vines of Negroamaro, picked late. The surmaturation, or slight raisining of the grapes, gives the wine a complex structure.
Intense colour with purple tints, tending to garnet. This is a wine which develops all its potential character during refinement in small barrels, a process which stabilizes the colour and softens the astringency of the tannins: the wine acquires a fresh aroma and a regal sumptuosity.

Agricole Vallone
2015
Selezione attenta dei grappoli di negroamaro di vecchia vigna allevata ad alberello. Le uve vengono portate prima a maturazione, poi lasciate appassire su graticci. Il nome del vino deriva proprio dalla Graticciaia, il fruttaio ove sono sistemate le leggere stuoie fatte con canne intrecciate e vimini. Allorchè l’appassimento è completato le uve passano alla vinificazione. I processi fisiologici che si determinano nell’acino e la fermentazione del mosto in autunno avanzato, allorquando la temperatura ambientale è più bassa, portano ad una evoluzione del tutto diversa rispetto alla vinificazione tradizionale. La temperatura del mosto è rigorosamente disciplinata per tutto il processo di fermentazione lenta e la prima fase dell’affinamento viene realizzata in piccole botti di legno per 12 mesi circa.

Schola Sarmenti
2018 Limited Production
Primitivo from 80-year-old vines Limited production (numbered bottles) 80 years of history flow into the Schola Sarmenti older vines sap. A patient green pruning gives birth to this Primitivo wine, whose production is deliberately limited to focus on its excellent quality. The precious gift of a unique terroir; the work of clever, loving hands.
Harvesting and wine-making: Grapes are picked up by hand and gently laid down into little airy crates, arriving as whole bunches at the winery. Once there, grapes are further selected using an advanced sorting table.
Bouquet: A very meticulous wine making for this superb Primitivo. This wine delivers a heady nose of red fruits and balsamic flavours that highlight its structure and complexity, ending with toasted nuances and strong spicy notes.

Tormaresca
2017
The growing season in the Castel del Monte area, where the Bocca di Lupo vineyards are located, had two distinct phases: the first, from March to July, was characterized by rather cool weather with frequent rainfall, phenomenon which caused some delay in plant and grape growth and development, while the second, beginning in early August, hot and dry and lasting all the way through the harvest itself, assisted in a full and complete recovery of the previous delay and an excellent ripening of the crop. The picking of the Aglianico grapes in the proprietary vineyards of the estate began on October 5th and continued up to the 20th of the month with high level results in terms of grape quality. The 2011 vintage will surely be considered one of the finest of all for the qualitative excellent of the wines produced.
