Claudio's oenological history began in 2005 with the decision to abandon his pharamceitical career in the United States to take on the role of the winemaker. It is a return to his origins, to the Salento of his childhood, to the ritual of the harvest with his grandparents, but also a tribute to his lifelong passion for great wines. Perched on a volcanic hill surrounded by vineyards and woods, the winery collects the legacy of a historical area and projects it into the future with a contemporary vision and language. The grapes come from selected plots in the most suitable areas and are grown up to 700 meters above sea level, where the strong temperature range enhances its aroma. The soil is varied between clayey, calcareous, sandy and with ashes from Vesuvius.
Intense nose of cherry, blackcurrant, blueberry, with hints of sweet spices of cinnamon, black pepper, wet earth and dark chocolate. Fine, warm and enveloping sip with elegant and balanced tannins in a softness completed by a pleasant freshness on the finish.
