Description

After reaching complete phenolic maturity, the grapes were harvested and sent for vinification in thermo-conditioned stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation took place at a controlled temperature, kept below 26°C. The maceration phase was continued for 8-10 days. Malolactic fermentation completed its cycle by the beginning of winter. Subsequently, the wine aged in steel for approximately 8 months.

NePriCa Negroamaro has a ruby red color enriched with light violet nuances. On the nose, it releases aromas of red fruits, such as black cherry and raspberry, accompanied by pleasant floral notes of rose, violet and iris. On the palate, the entry is soft, highlighted by sweet tannins supported by good freshness and a pleasant fruity aftertaste
