2016
Winemaking (Ancestral method): after destemming and soft cru-shing grapes, must ferments spontaneously thanks to a pied de cuve of natural yeasts, the only ones which increase the expression of our Terroir. The presence of very low amount of red grapes, gives wine anthocyanins and so colour. After 40 days of alcoholic fermen-tation at low temperature (13-14°C), before total sugars depletion, fermenting must is transferred in stainless steel pressure tank (11-12°C); when the residual sugar reaches 50 g per litre, temperatu-re is decrease (<10°C) to stop fermentation. Wine is aging on lees with continue bâttonage in these pressure tanks, in order to obtain a stable wine. Very low amount of sulphur dioxide added before bottling. Natural fining and stabilization, no fining agents added. No filtration.
Residual sugars per litre: 50 g/l, sweet.
Organoleptic properties: light amber colour, fine and quite persi-stent bobbles; fruity and floral nose. Balanced and very soft taste, very fresh and sweet.
Food pairing: ideal for desserts and cakes, very good with Indian and Japanese foods.
Serving temperature: 6-8 °C.

Tormaresca
2019
Negroamaro 100% Selected from the vineyards of the Maime estate in San Pietro Vernotico (province of Brindisi).
The weather of the 2015 growing season was decidedly “Mediterranean”, marked as it was by a springtime of regular temperatures and humidity and then a decidedly hot and dry summer.
The excellent balance between vegetation and grapes in our vineyards led, nonetheless, to a proper and sustained growth of the vines and ripening of the fruit, to the point that the Negroamaro harvest took place during the first week of September, in line with the historic pattern of our estate.

TERRITORY
The Salento region is identified by three climatic elements: the sun, the architect that creates generous degrees of sugar, the sea, responsible for the minerality of the wines, and the wind that makes this area naturally free of disease and particularly suitable for the production of "natural" wines. Characterized by extensive flat areas and modest hilly reliefs, the Salento region is geologically constituted by a calcareous structure of medium texture.
VARIETY INFORMATION
Negroamaro, native to Puglia, is the main black grape variety of Salento. Its origins are very ancient (8th century B.C.) and likely owes its name to the terms "niger" (Latin) and "mavros" (Greek) which both refer to the colour black. Its great versatility makes it suitable for all types of winemaking.
PAIRING RECOMMENDATIONS: Meatballs with sauce, legume soups, orecchiette pasta with meat sauce and barbecued lamb.

Wine of an intense red colour with garnet-coloured hints, made of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera.
