Vinification of the Negroamaro Salento IGP by Novantaceppi The cultivation of the grapes takes place in the sun-kissed region around Salento, known for its ideal climatic conditions. The grapes grow in clay-rich soils that intensify the aromas. The harvest is carried out by hand to select only the fully ripe grapes. This guarantees the highest quality of the grapes used for vinification. After the harvest, the grapes are taken directly to the winery, where they are gently destemmed. Fermentation occurs under controlled temperatures to optimally develop the fruity characteristics. Traditional methods are used to ensure the authenticity of the wine. After fermentation, the Negroamaro ages in French oak barrels, which further enhances its elegance and depth. The aging process brings together the various aromas and imparts a special complexity to the wine. After several months in wood barrels, the wine is bottled and subsequently stored for some time in the bottle before it hits the market. Thus, the Negroamaro Salento IGP presents itself as a prime example of the craftsmanship of winemaking in the region.
