Cellar
Cantine Due Palme was founded in 1989 and has as its main objective the vinification of quality products made from the typical grapes of the area such as Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera, Primitivo and Susumaniello. All production phases, from the cellar to the ageing process up to the bottling line, are guaranteed by meticulous quality controls. It is one of the few cooperatives in Italy to be able to boast the description on the back label of wines 'wholly produced' on the farm; a unique quality assurance and traceability of the supply chain, which makes it possible to follow the evolution of the raw material at any time, from the bunch of grapes to the glass of wine.
Uniting to grow: uniting to strengthen our presence in the territory, stimulating from the bottom a productive sharing centred on the quality of the grapes, organising ourselves to generate a strong propensity for international markets; these are the cornerstones of our company, which have allowed, and allow, many small producers to express their potential to the full, while respecting the three-thousand-year-old oenological tradition of our territory. We have always focused on the preservation of the Apulian Alberello, which allows us to obtain grapes of exceptional quality, with complex and full-bodied fruit. Cantine Due Palme is today a symbol of excellence in Apulian oenology, an important testimony to this territory, its history and tradition.
Description
A tribute to history and tradition, the carefully selected grapes were first destemmed and harvested late, then hand-picked in trays and left to dry in our fruit cellar.
Ettamiano is aged in barrels to enhance its tannins and extraordinary elegance. The microclimate of the Salento hinterland gives it a warm, consistent and enveloping backbone, typical of only the best southern wines.
Organoleptic characteristics:
A wine with an intense red colour with cardinal highlights. It evokes an important richness of aromas on the nose: jam and fruit under spirits, light roasting and aromas of vanilla and chocolate. Warm, soft, with tannins perfectly balanced with the fruit, which returns to the palate with a finish of almonds and nuts. A cerebral and committed wine, it offers depth and elegance.
Storage time:
5- 10 years
Vinification
harvested late, harvested by hand in trays and left to dry in the orchard
