Cellar

L'Azienda Vinicola Rivera was founded in the '40s, in the countryside of Andria, by Sebastiano de Corato. Soon the winery became the main point of reference for Apulian oenology and the real driving force behind its rebirth, thanks also to the innovations in the vineyard and in the cellar made since the 1980s. With the arrival in the company of Sebastiano and Marco, Carlo's sons and grandsons of the founder, Rivera continues with pride and renewed commitment in the production of wines that express all the intense and elegant character of this land and its vines. In application of the company's philosophy, all stages of the production process - vineyard cultivation, grape harvest, vinification, ageing and bottling of the wines - combine the most modern techniques of viticulture and oenology with absolute respect for natural processes, with a view to environmental and economic sustainability and continuous improvement of quality.

Description

Puer Apuliae or 'Son of Apulia': this is how Frederick II of Swabia was called, the 13th century emperor who, with the Castel del Monte, left an indelible memory of himself to humanity. This wine of great character, structure and elegance is a 'Puer Apuliae' because it is made from an almost forgotten clone of Nero di Troia selected by Rivera in his Tafuri vineyard.

Organoleptic characteristics: 

Impenetrable purplish red; intense bouquet of small black fruits with notes of violets and star anise; palate of great density and elegance, very long.

Storage time: 

12-15 years

Vinification 

in stainless steel tanks between 15 and 18 days with delestage and careful micro-oxygenation to soften the impressive tannin content.
