'F' Negroamaro Salento IGP Cantine San Marzano 2021

F Negroamaro Salento IGT from Cantine San Marzano is a label that is the full expression of a territory with a millenary tradition. The company chooses the grapes to make this elegant red from the longest-lived vineyards of Negroamaro, i.e. the Feudi di San Marzano, to which the name of the wine pays homage. The red earth of these areas, strong in a calcareous substrate and a vast presence of iron oxides, benefits from the particular microclimate to give life to resistant grapes, full of color and sugar concentration. Hand-picked in small baskets towards the end of September, when they have reached perfect ripeness, the grapes are left to macerate on indigenous yeasts. This is followed by fermentation at a controlled temperature and one year of aging in oak barrels: at the end of these procedures, F Negroamaro Salento IGT is born. The result is a fine red wine, but capable of preserving its characteristics even after resting in the cellar for 5-7 years.
