On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced red wine is wonderfully melting and dense. The Syrah Salento is wonderfully fresh and lively on the palate thanks to its present fruit acidity. The finish of this red wine from the wine-growing region of Apulia, or more precisely from Salento IGP, impresses with a good aftertaste.

Vinification of the Syrah Salento from Sampietrana

The basis for the balanced Syrah Salento from Apulia are grapes from the Syrah grape variety. The grapes for the Syrah Salento are harvested exclusively by hand at optimum ripeness, without the help of coarse and less selective machines. After the harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the winery. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large wooden vats at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by 6 months of ageing in oak barrels.
