This wine is made entirely from Negroamaro grapes, a native variety that imparts extraordinary depth and complexity to these wine creations.
With a deep and intense color, the Vereto Riserva is distinguished by its vigorous character. On the nose, it offers a rich and complex bouquet, dominated by scents of ripe fruit such as plums and blackberries, enhanced by nuances of dark chocolate, licorice, and a light spicy touch reminiscent of vanilla, a result of aging in barrique.
On the palate, the structure of the Negroamaro Vereto Riserva is robust, with well-integrated tannins and a pleasant freshness that balances the intensity of the fruit. Its long-lasting flavor makes it an excellent candidate to accompany hearty dishes, such as roasts, game, and aged cheeses.

The careful selection of grapes and winemaking make the Negroamaro Vereto Riserva DOC a privileged choice for special occasions or to enrich one’s cellar with a wine of considerable expressiveness.
A true expression of the Puglian terroir, the Negroamaro Vereto Riserva DOC stands as a wine of great interest for enthusiasts and collectors, representing an outstanding interpretation of this typical variety of Southern Italy.

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.
