As we mentioned, the vineyards are located in the Salento region, where the grapes are treated to a perfect climate. Plenty of sunshine and a cool ocean breeze provide the grapes with a slow, balanced ripening process, a characteristic we can taste. The Negroamaro grapes are harvested first, always early in the morning. Once all the Negroamaro grapes have been harvested, the Primitivo grapes are harvested about two weeks later. Upon arrival at Torre de Lancia, the grapes are thoroughly inspected and controlled. Only the finest bunches are used in this Rosso Fuoco.
Upon opening the wine, we knew for sure: it was a soft and fruity wine. We immediately received impressions of dried black fruit with a touch of licorice. In the glass, this Rosso Fuoco blew a beautiful ruby red with a light purple rim. It exuded aromas, bringing to mind blackberries and cherries, complemented by newspapers and sweet spices. On the palate, plums and sweet cherries caress the tongue, complemented by blackberries and spices. A touch of vanilla and blueberries lingered on the cheeks, which was very pleasant. The velvety finish completes the picture of this wine from Salento.
