Negroamaro Salento NEGRAMANTE PAOLOLEO

Negramante from the Paololeo winery in Puglia is a red wine made exclusively from Negroamaro grapes, one of the most famous native varieties in Salento. The grapes come from the winery's vineyards in San Donaci near Brindisi and are harvested manually in the early hours of the morning. They are then destemmed and pressed, fermenting in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 22-24°C for about ten days. After the first racking following clarification, malolactic fermentation takes place, followed by final ageing in French oak barriques for three months.
