This Apulian red wine from the Polvanera winery comes from 100% Aglianico grapes at the Vigneto Marchesana in Gioia del Colle: here the soils are ferrous and with a layer of persistent limestone. The bunches collected during the mechanical harvest in the second week of October are then subjected to maceration for 2 weeks; it is then fermented in stainless steel for 2 weeks at a temperature of 25 ° C. The final phase of refinement requires the stay for 24 months in steel and finally a year in the bottle.
