Descrizione

This wine embodies the true Mediterranean essence of Negroamaro and reflects the elegance that characterizes the wines produced by Fino. It is the result of a scrupulous selection of the grapes harvested after a short drying in the vineyard, followed by vinification in steel and nine months of maturation in first and second passage barriques.

Its name, "Jo", takes inspiration from the Ionian sea, which laps the coasts of Manduria. Furthermore, the term "Jonico" is a synonym of Negroamaro, the native vine that best represents Salento.

In the glass, it has a dark ruby red color and it offers an aromatic profile that faithfully reflects the varietal characteristics. Fruity notes emerge, together with floral and spicy hints that evoke the Mediterranean landscape. On the palate, the wine is soft, enveloping and well balanced, with a pleasant freshness that invites you to the next sip. The finish is long and gives a memorable flavor.

It is perfect for accompanying traditional Apulian dishes, grilled meat, mature cheeses but also chocolate desserts.

Winery history

Gianfranco Fino began his work in 2004 by buying a small Primitivo vineyard and, over time, expanded the estate by rescuing old, local vines. The winery quickly gained a strong reputation thanks to the Primitivo "Es", which became its flagship wine and drew the attention of international critics.

Production philosophy

The winery aims to produce wines with a strong sense of place: meticulous vineyard care, hands-on work and attention to old bush-trained vines. The approach combines instinct, passion and respect for the land; the labels and wine names allude to cultural references cited by the winery.

Terroir and vineyards

Headquarters and vineyards in Salento, on red calcareous-clayey soils exposed to the Ionian Sea breeze; vineyards predominantly trained as alberello pugliese.
