About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from the company’s vineyards in Puglia.

Grapes

The wine is made exclusively from Nero di Troia, a variety more commonly blended with other southern Italian grapes.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness and gently crushed at the winery. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled steel tanks and is halted by rapidly reducing the temperature, preserving some residual sugar.

Ageing

The wine spends five months in barrels and a further three months in bottle.

Serving and pairing

Decant before serving.

Label / history

Wines in the “40” (“Quaranta”) range are bottled for Tagaro by Maredivino SRL, a third-party provider of stabilization, clarification, purification, filtration and bottling services.
