Negroamaro Orfeo 2022
Orfeo is a pure Negroamaro, grown in Salento (heal of Italy) under the influence of two seas: Ionian and Tyrrhenian, which influences the microclimate with some coolness and temperature range even at such southern latitudes. Negroamaro, the main grape of the region, is bush trained; the yields are limited in order to produce an intense and sustained wine.
The harvest is manual in small boxes and is done early in the morning before the air temperature rises too much. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out in steel vats at a controlled temperature and maceration with the skins continues for about another two weeks with punching down and pumping over to facilitate the extraction of substances from the skins. The wine ages for one year in American and French oak barriques.
