About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the Cantalupi estate's 320 ha of vineyards in the heart of Salice Salentino DOC. The estate selects clones according to their performance in each terroir and seeks to minimise chemical use.

Grapes

Clones are selected for their suitability to each terroir.

Vinification

The grapes are carefully selected. Fermentation is long, following the winery's traditional practices, and takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks.

Ageing

The wine rests for several months in stainless-steel tanks.
