Cellar
'Feudi Salentini' is a clear reference to Feudalism, when carriages and castles, ladies and knights were the protagonists of the magnificent panorama of this enchanted land where wine was considered the most prestigious and healthy drink.
Cosimo and Maria Teresa Varvaglione, with a team of young collaborators, every day write a story made of quality and love for this land. Bush-trained vines, grapes harvested by hand as they were then, ancient knowledge handed down over time...
In the winery, ancient traditions and modern technology transform extraordinary grapes into excellent wines. Feudi Salentini was established in 1994 in Leporano in one of the most beautiful areas of Salento, surrounded by vineyards, centuries-old olive trees and a crystal clear sea. We believe that the quality expressed in a wine can become the symbol of a territory, of a history that repeats itself, of a passion spanning generations. These awards give energy to a young and motivated group led by Cosimo and Maria Teresa Varvaglione.
Description
Sassirossi is a Primitivo di Manduria PDO, a typical grape variety that originates in southern Italy in the area of Manduria, in the province of Taranto, an area in Apulia that touches both the coast and the hinterland.
The vines from which Sassirossi - Primitivo di Manduria PDO originates grow on sandy-calcareous soil with a high iron content, so much so that it takes on its characteristic red colour.
It is precisely from the pebbles in the soil, which turn red when they come into contact with the ground, that the name of this Primitivo di Manduria PDO originates.
Organoleptic characteristics:
A full-bodied wine, deep red in colour with garnet highlights and a bouquet that is a perfect harmony of spicy, balsamic notes and ripe red fruit.
Its intense flavour is complemented by ripe tannins that release a touch of black pepper on the tip of the tongue.
Storage time:
9 years
Vinification
temperature-controlled maceration at 26°- 28°C
