Negroamaro Puglia ORFEO PAOLOLEO

This red wine from the Paololeo winery in Puglia is part of a line dedicated to native grape varieties capable of producing great wines, thanks to meticulous vinification and ageing in oak barrels. The pure Negroamaro grapes, harvested by hand in the early hours of the morning, are destemmed and then fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks for about ten days. This is followed by maceration on the skins and final pressing on the pomace. Maturation requires ageing in steel for 3 months, 12 months in barriques and finally 3 months in the bottle.
