Description

Rosato from 100% Ottavianello, better known to us as Cinsault. Rosé full of life with a maturation on ceramic eggs and from vines of approx. 85 years old. Very earthy (terra) and yet juicy with dark ripe fruit for the balance. Vin nature pur sang.

In the Itria Valley, Brindisi, Puglia, Vittorio works as the very first natural wine maker in the area. At 300 meters altitude, on a soil consisting mainly of red clay, typical of the region, he works largely with indigenous, forgotten grape varieties. Semi-macertion carbonique and with as little extraction as possible he produces very juicy, mineral wines, low in alcohol, unlike other wine products from the valley.

Believe it or not, Vittorio Pugliese only became familiar with the concept of natural wine in 2017. In a very short time, he found his true passion. He studied like crazy, participated in many fairs around the world, tasted, tasted and tasted, tried to understand the whole process and soon felt that he wanted to be part of that world that he started to love.

The original idea was to open a wine bar in Bari. A few months later, COVID came around the corner. His eye fell on a piece of land with abandoned vines in the Itria Valley where, without a local reference point, he works completely intuitively, so to speak. Intuition or not, talent is in any case, the result is impressive. With 2020 as the very first vintage, almost disturbingly clean, subtle and elegant natural wines, each with its own personality, unusual for the area. On our shelves.
