The wine region of Locorotondo
DOC of the Valle d'Itria in southern Puglia (Locorotondo, Cisternino, Fasano), the land of trulli on free-draining limestone soils ventilated by the Adriatic. Verdeca is the signature native white (50–65%) blended with Bianco d'Alessano (35–50%): pale yellow-green, dry and delicate with lively citrus, green apple, white flowers and a mineral-almond hint, taut acidity and an elegant finish. Also in Spumante. Fiano and Bombino as complements.
The wine region of Puglia
Heel of the boot, 80% red vineyard, sunny and generous. Fleshy, jammy Primitivo (= Zinfandel) with notes of black cherry, plum, chocolate and spices, powerful alcohol and melted tannins, a star in Primitivo di Manduria. Deep, structured Negroamaro (black-bitter) with a bitter finish in Salice Salentino. Structured Nero di Troia, spicy Susumaniello.
The word of the wine: Maceration
Prolonged contact and exchange between the juice and the grape solids, especially the skin. Not to be confused with the time of fermentation, which follows maceration. The juice becomes loaded with colouring matter and tannins, and acquires aromas. For a rosé, the maceration is short so that the colour does not "rise" too much. For white wines too, a "pellicular maceration" can be practised, which allows the wine to acquire more fat.
