The Salento Rosso Versante Negroamaro IGP from Vallone winery is a captivating specimen of the wine heritage of Southern Italy, specifically from the Puglia region. Produced entirely from Negroamaro grapes, one of the most emblematic varietals of the area, this red wine reflects the passion and tradition of winemaking in Puglia.
The Versante Negroamaro presents an intense ruby red color, almost impenetrable, which leads to a rich and complex nose. Aromatically, there are notes of mature forest fruits, such as blackberry and cherry, enhanced by hints of spices like vanilla and licorice, derived from aging in wood. On the palate, the wine is powerful yet balanced, with well-integrated tannic structure that supports a full and persistent palate.
The exposure to micro-oxygenation and aging in wooden barrels for several months endows this Negroamaro with complexity and elegance, making it suitable for a wide spectrum of culinary pairings. It pairs perfectly with hearty dishes such as roasted meats, game, or traditional Puglian meat-based dishes.
Serve at a temperature of 16-18°C to enhance all its fragrances and organoleptic properties. Ideal for those seeking a wine that represents the strength and warmth of Southern Italy, the Salento Rosso Versante Negroamaro IGP is a choice that surprises and satisfies, confirming the reputation of Vallone winery as one of the most authentic and qualified expressions of viticulture in Puglia.

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.
