Ca’ Vittoria
The Bronze Age sees as protagonist, the city of Canne della Battaglia, memorable scenario of the battle between Carthaginians and Romans. Treasure preserved by the city are the ruins of a domus (house) of particular importance not only historical, but also artistic for the beauty of the paintings on the walls and the precious mosaics of the floors.
In this scenario comes the idea of an Appassimento Puglia that sees the grapes left in situ on the vines to wither for a fortnight, before harvesting and vinification. The name Cà recalls the ruins of the domus (Roman house) while the word Vittoria recalls the battle between the two communities that ended with the victory of the Carthaginians. Even the gold squiggle on the label wants to recall the precious mosaics of the floors.

VINIFICATION:
In the last ten days of September the perfect ripeness of the grapes is reached and winemaking process starts from the vine. The withering process takes place in the vineyard by cutting the petiole of grapes but leaving them on the vine for about 15-20 days, during this period 50% of their weight evaporate. This will allow for wines with typical notes of ripe fruits, such as plums and raisins. The hand-picked grapes are pressed and the fermented. The skins are left in contact with the must for a long period to extract flavours and the characteristic red colour. Subsequently the wine is left to complete the malolactic fermentation; this contributes to the peculliar complexity of this wine.
