Negroamaro Rosato
In Salento, rosé is not a trend—it's tradition. It’s the instinctive gesture of those who, for generations, have understood both the strength and delicacy of Negroamaro. This wine is born from that subtle balance—from the desire to capture the precise moment when the grape, gently pressed, reveals its palest hue and most elegant expression.
We chose a very brief maceration, just long enough to let the skins brush the juice. The result is a pale, luminous pink that hints, even at first glance, at the wine’s freshness and finesse. The aromas recall pomegranate, raspberry, and orange blossom—clean, precise, never overpowering.
On the palate, it’s taut, savory, and dry. It carries that saline streak only our southern lands can offer, making each sip vibrant and refreshing. This rosé is crafted for those who seek authenticity and balance—far from excess, close to the land.io.
This wine isn’t about reinventing Negroamaro, but about rediscovering it. Telling its story in a softer voice—no less intense, just more subtle. The same grape, the same sun, the same soil—seen from a different angle.
An everyday wine in the noblest sense: one that accompanies time without ever becoming tiring. An invitation to slow down, and to appreciate the lighter side of depth.
