The flagship wine of the Agricole Vallone estate, Graticciaia is the celebration of the magisterial complexity of the magnificent Salento grape variety, the negroamaro, and, as it name clearly indicates, it is a unique wine produced from loft-dried red grapes. Grapes grown on the Tenuta Flaminio are meticulously graded and selected, dried on mats in the exceptional Castel Serranova microclimate, carefully vinified, and then matured slowly in wood. The result is a massive, generous, and opulent wine, one that appeals with seductive elegance and flavours, a wine of rich, ultra-ripe fruit. Limited Availability. (6 x 75 cl)

Casa Catelli Negroamaro IGT Puglia
Description: Winemaker's note: Negroamaro colour is deep ruby, almost black and soft and smooth on the palate. It is very fruity with hints of jam, wild fruit, dry prunes and black pepper. This wine has extraordinary balance and harmony. Aging: about a third of the wine is aged in two year old, small French barrique for four months and the remaining in stainless steel tanks. Then for three months in the bottle. The wine is then slightly filtered and separated from the residual yeasts and sediments, before bottling. About Negroamaro: Negroamaro is an ancient variety, which has dominated the vineyards of the southern part of Apulia since the 6th century BC. The name comes from dialect, meaning black-bitter, although it doesn't taste bitter at all. About 37,000 hectares of vineyards are planted with Negroamaro in Apulia. Growers like it because it is resistant to draught and diseases and is capable of producing a considerable quality of wine. In all of Apulia however, Negroamaro performs the best in the Salento region, spanning from Taranto to Brindisi to Lecce up to the eastern city of Otranto. It's generally blended with Malvasia Nera, Sangiovese and Montepulciano. It can best express on its own, and can be a great rival of the better know Primitivo. (6 x 75 cl) Price: £50.76
