Winery
The PaoloLeo winery is divided into two wine cellars, the first is located in the heart of Salice Salentino DOC (San donaci) the second, inaugurated in'August 2020, is located at the gates of Primitivo di Manduria DOC (Monteparano). The winery is flanked by the agricultural one, which has more than 70 hectares and a very old 16th-century farmhouse surrounded by vineyards. Paolo Leo, born in 1960, was born into a family where making wine was an inevitable inheritance; And today it is still an heir, the eponymous Paolo Leo, Nicola's son, who leads the new winery, together with his wife Roberta and sons Nicola, Stefano, Francesco and Alessandro, flanked by loyal collaborators. For years present on the Apulian and international market, it has always operated with respect for the environment and its territory rich in tradition and history. Vines are grown on predominantly calcareous clay soils, with more sandy areas and others with emerging rock , with a mild climate that have made Salento, a fertile sub-region of the Puglia region that bases its economy on agriculture.
Description
Vitigno aromatico a bacca bianca coltivato nelle colline della Valle D’Itria, il Minutolo è una delle etichette della Linea Alture nata per valorizzare i vitigni autoctoni minori
Organoleptic characteristics:
Nel bicchiere il vino si mostra di colore giallo paglierino limpido e lucente. Bouquet di grande rilievo olfattivo, sprigiona intensi e variegati profumi di pesca bianca, bergamotto, mela, ananas, mango, papaya, biancospino, gelsomino, camomilla, menta e rosmarino, proseguendo con tocchi speziati in sottofondo. Il sorso è seducente con una spiccata aromaticità, sapido, morbido e delicato. Palato asciutto, elegante.
Storage time:
2-4 years old
Vinification
Raccolta in cassetta, l’uva viene fatta sostare una notte in cella frigo con temperatura sottolo zero (criomacerazione pellicolare di 20 ore). L’uva poi si diraspa; segue la pigiatura, una breve macerazione a freddo e una successiva pressatura soffice delle vinacce. La fermentazione a bassa temperatura conserva aromi e freschezza.
