NEGROAMARO DEL SALENTO I.G.P.
FRANCISCO CERVELLI
The Francisco Cervelli is a wine produced from grapes coming from the vineyards located in the municipalities falling within the province of Lecce. The soils are clayey - calcareous and the vines are grown using the traditional Salento method of the Apulian sapling.
The grapes are harvested by hand in the second decade of September which is followed by a classic red vinification, with prolonged contact time between marc and must to allow greater extraction of coloring substances.
The marc is separated from the liquid part (wine must). Fermentation is completed in stainless steel tanks. Once fermentation is complete, the wine is separated from the lees and stored in steel tanks for about a year. Finally it is stabilized, filtered and bottled. Deep red colour with hints of violet, balanced tannin and intense bouquet of berries.
