Miore’

The vines grow in the province of Taranto on medium-heavy, clay-rich soil with a high proportion of stones; the training system is predominantly Alberello, and the vines are around 30 to 60 years old. The grapes are hand-harvested, fermented under temperature control in stainless steel and left on the skins for around 15 days. The wine then matures for about ten months in 30-hl French oak casks. In the glass it shows garnet highlights; the aromas range from ripe red fruit, woodland berries, dried plum and fig to vanilla, clove and bitter cocoa. On the palate it is full-bodied, structured and persistent.
