Lupo Meraviglia The peculiarity of this wine, obtained from a blend of Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera, relies in its vinification method which involves the use of millstones during the fermentation process. These ancestral elements had been used in Apulia since the first wine-making experiences, and various archaeological findings attested their presence in the Salento area. They were made of stone and their characteristic shape (low, wide and completely open) allowed a better contact between the must and the skins with respect to the traditional wi-nemaking methods, improving the dissolution of oxygen during the fermentation process. Nowadays, the grapes are vinified inside the “modern” stainless steel millstones, whose shape and characteristics mirror the original ones. The wine obtained, with no oak refining, has a great structure, concentration and a very high persistence; the complete extraction of all the skins parts and the greater dissolution of oxygen during the fermentation process result in more mature tannins, which become less aggressive and more long-lasting.

VINIFICATION:

Vinificated using “Salasso” (Bleeding) to fully express the grapes potential. This procedure concentrates the compound extracted in red wine must by increasing the skins-to-juice ratio. Reducing the amount of liquid in contact with the solid constituents enhances the colour, the structural tannins and the intense fruity aromas on the nose. Malolactic fermentation at controlled temperature is completed fully. The resulting wine is aged in vats until bottling.
