Vigneti del Salento Negroamaro I Muri 2024

The vineyards are mostly situated in the communes of Manduria and Sava and are owned by growers with whom Filippo has been working for many years. Production is lower than its potential, which ensures the best quality grapes are selected. The red soils are calcareous clay and rich in iron, minerals and nutrients. 80% of the grapes come from old bush vines and the rest from trained vines that are at least 20 years old. The grapes were gently pressed and cooled to 10oC for a maceration period of 8-10 days with regular pumping over. Yeasts were added to start fermentation, which took place in stainless- steel tanks under temperature-controlled conditions of up to 20oC. The wine was then aged in used American and French oak for 4-5 months before bottling.
