Advice to enjoy this wine at its best.

Let’s talk about Graticciaia Negroamaro IGP - Vallone

More questions

The peak of excellence of the Vallone house. The most beautiful and bright star. A kaleidoscope of smells and scents, constantly evolving.

It stands out with intense red, almost black colours. Rich in ripe fruit, hints of balsamic and touches of vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg.

On the nose hints of dried and ripe fruits among the juiciest. Extremely structured on the palate, warm and elegant, with flavors of tobacco, dried fruit and vanilla.

The more you taste it, the more you perceive fantastic evolutions of flavours

It comes from a careful selection of Negroamaro bunches from an old vineyard trained as a sapling. The grapes, brought to maturity first, are then left to dry on racks. The name of the wine derives from the “Graticciaia”. Produced with winemaking and fermentation techniques that are completely different from traditional techniques. When drying is completed, the grapes move on to vinification. Wine aged in French oak barrels. The temperature of the must is strictly regulated throughout the slow fermentation process and the aging is carried out in small wooden barrels.

The Cellar: Agricole Vallone

The winery

Agricole Vallone

Puglia (Salento)ItaliaSince 1934

A Salento winery based in the region’s estates, known for the iconic Graticciaia (Negroamaro appassito) and for a range of 16 labels.
Grape varieties
Negroamaro, Susumaniello, Primitivo, Verdeca, Ottavianello, Montepulciano
  • 16 labels in the catalog
  • Three wine estates in Salento
  • Project known for its Graticciaia: dried Negroamaro
  • Estate covering approximately 500 hectares in total.
  • Revival and enhancement of Susumaniello
The story
The winery's history is tied to the historic vineyards of Salento: the union of the Vallone and De Marco holdings and the subsequent acquisition of the Castel Serranova estate shaped the current production project. Over the years the winery has experimented with techniques such as grape drying, which led to the creation of the celebrated Graticciaia.
Production philosophy
Focused on promoting Salento's native grape varieties, the estate aims to accurately express the characteristics of its vineyards and varieties, maintaining a family-run, artisanal approach while remaining open to winemaking innovation.
Terroir and vineyards
Production takes place across three estates in the heart of Salento, with vineyards planted on a variety of soils, combining areas close to the Torre Guaceto nature reserve and historic plots such as Caragnuli, from which the grapes for Graticciaia are sourced.
