 The function of the curtain is well known: to separate the stage from the auditorium, and therefore from the audience. The play, however, only starts when the curtain is raised. The sense of expectation that arises in those few minutes, as the velvet and the ornaments of the curtain fill the audience with awe, is essential to appreciate the performance that will begin shortly after; the same is true when we open a bottle of red wine: we hold it in our hands, we carefully observe it in all its beauty and elegance and, finally, uncork it.

WINE STYLE 

Mellow and harmonious, it perfectly balances body and acidity.

APULIA REGION 

The climate is warm and temperate, with abundant rainfall throughout the year. In summer, the African winds cause a rapid and marked rise in temperatures with significant temperature fluctuations.

VINIFICATION: 

The grapes are harvested a light over-ripe. They are destemmed and crushed, then fermented in stainless steel tanks for about 10 days at the controlled temperature of 24- 26°C. Skins are then kept in the wine for two more weeks of maceration. Once fermented and racked the wine is stored in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks until bottling.
