Verso Verso is a full-bodied, luscious wine made with a small percent of raisined grapes. This blend comes from vineyards in Salento (located in the heel of Italy). Rich and dark fruit on the nose with spicy earth. The palate is filled with black berry and plum with dark cherry, nice oak adding weight with light tannins on the finish. Our favorite note about the wine: "It is a hedonistic experience that captures the polished side of Negroamaro and Primitivo."

VINIFICATION:

The grapes come from selected vineyards in the Salento region, harvested at the beginning of October, to get a level of maturation such to have a high sugar level and good alcohol content.
After the accurate hand harvest, grapes are pressed and the fermentation starts; the skins are left in the must for a long period to extract flavours and the characteristic thick deep red colour.
Traditional red wine vinification at a controlled temperature between 25 and 27°C.
