NERO DI TROIA
Our wine Nero di Troia is made from grapes that carry the same name, and that have old and interesting roots in our region. The legend says that the grapevine arrived in Southern Italy, specifically in Puglia, more that two thousands years ago carried along by the war heroes Diomede, that after the Troy war, left Asia and landed in Puglia. He planted the grapevine on the Ofanto, and from its plants the Uva di Troia was born. For decades the wine made by the Nero di Troia grapes has been used as blending wine, and only in the last years it has been rediscovered in its purity, showing great fragrances and unique tasting notes. It has a red ruby color, to the nose it is characterized by black berries notes and coriander. It has round, harmonic, balanced and rightly tannic taste. |
ROSATO
Our rosato wine is a particularly interesting wine made from Montepulciano grapes, a typical grapevine from the abruzzese viticulture and other Italian Southern regions, that has found in Puglia an optimal climate for its growth. The oenological production techniques of a rosato wine can be multiple, but the common characteristic to all rosato wines is that they are all produced from red/black grapes. Rosato wine is made from the maceration of the grape must for a variable time (until the limit of two days). At the end of the maceration, the must is separated from the peel, and the following production processes follow the same criterion of white wine production. Its rose petal color is full of golden reflexes, and its smell is gently fruity, with aromas of raspberry and sour cherries. When tasted it shows to be a very long wine with a fresh and mineral end.

MALVASIA BIANCA
The “Malvasia Bianca” wine is made in purity from the vine, whose name seems to derive from that of a Greek city of Morea, Monembasia, whose literal meaning is harbour with an only one entrance. The name, later degenerated into Malfasia, was then italianized in Malvasia.
The same name "Malvasia" refers to several varieties that do not have a common denominator: for this reason we prefer to speak of Malvasias.
The “Malvasia Bianca” of Lama di Luna, vinified in stainless steel tanks for 4-6 months and then in bottle, comes with bright yellow color, with greenish tints and the aroma is reminiscent of a complex floral bouquet with clear hints of lime and citrus.
The taste is full and round, very persistent, with a typical local minerality.
