TASTING NOTES
To produce this wine, a first manual selection of the grapes in the vineyard is carried out at the beginning of August and a second selection, always manual, is made during the harvest. After fermentation at a controlled temperature, half of this wine is aged in large wooden barrels, while the other half is aged in steel tanks. The wine in the glass is intense ruby red and the nose is broad with plum and cherry aromas. In the mouth it is persistent, warm, soft and dry, with a hint of licorice. Perfect with roasted red meat or game meat and aged cheeses. The link with the territory is also underlined by the label, which represents the Porta Rudiae, the most interesting and ancient of the access gates of Lecce.

Amedeo and Damiano Reale are two brothers born and raised in the heart of Salento who took over the family business, already dedicated to viticulture since 1921. Counting on 100 hectares of owned vineyards, they made an important selection of the best vineyards, making significant changes to improve the quality of the grapes and to bottle all the wine produced on the farm. The Salento climate and sandy soils produce great grapes of Negroamaro , Primitivo , Malvasia and Chardonnay which are carefully vinified in the new production cellar in the countryside of Cellino San Marco . The company logo depicts the family villa, Villa Reale , dating back to the early 20th century, surrounded by a renowned Italian garden, underlining the deep-rooted family tradition in this splendid corner of Puglia .
