About this wine

A refined and expressive blend from the heart of Salento, Nerìo captures the soulful character of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera di Lecce. This Riserva embodies both tradition and emotion, offering depth, balance, and a sense of place. Vineyard & Production The vines, around 50 years old, are trained in the traditional Alberello Pugliese system at a density of 4,500 plants per hectare, yielding around 1,800 grams per plant. The grapes are hand-harvested and carefully placed into airy crates to preserve integrity. The wine is aged for eight months in French oak tonneaux and then a further eight months in bottle before release, allowing it to develop structure and complexity. Tasting Notes Ruby red in colour with light garnet reflections, Nerìo opens with alluring fruit aromas and subtle spice, touched by a delicate sweetness. On the palate, it is aromatic and softly textured, with gentle vegetal notes and a lingering finish of overripe fruit. Elegant and moving, it’s the kind of wine one savours slowly, letting each sip stir the senses. Food Match Perfect with roasted lamb, game, or mature cheeses. Grape Negroamaro 80%, Malvasia Nera di Lecce 20%
