Also vinified as a charming rosé. Marked quality revival in Salento and the province of Brindisi (Puglia) among modern winemakers. Italian autochthonous variety from Puglia, nearly extinct then recently rediscovered.

The wine region of Colorado
American Far West vineyard at extreme altitude (1,200-2,000 m), among the highest in North America. A dry continental climate with strong thermal swings signing tension and freshness. Firm Cabernet Sauvignon reds with signature notes of blackcurrant, black cherry, cedar and menthol, tight tannins. Round, fruity Merlot (plum, cocoa), peppery Cabernet Franc.
The word of the wine: Sulphur
An antiseptic and antioxidant substance known since antiquity, probably already used by the Romans. But it was only in modern times that its use was rediscovered. It will allow a better conservation of the wine and thus favour its export. Sulphur also gave the 18th century winegrower the possibility of extending the maceration period without fearing that the wine would turn sour and thus go from dark rosé wines to the red wines of today. Excessive sulphur, on the other hand, kills happiness, paralysing the aromas and causing headaches.
