Winery
The history of Angiuli Donato's winery began in 1880, a family history that today has no end.
The winery, located in Adelfia, in the heart of the wine production area of Primitivo DOP Gioia del Colle, today is run by Donato Angiuli with the collaboration of his sons Vito and Giuseppe.
As viticulturists their philosophy, from 1880 until today, has remained unchanged: the territory must be respected; from here the desire to cultivate autochthonous vines which are well matched with the nature of the soil and microclimate.
Donato Angiuli for the niche wines of his winery has created the brand "Maccone", from the dialectal name of the first cellarman of Angiuli winery, a man of great personality, professionalism and fame in local agriculture.
The wines of this line come from grapes of old Alberello vineyards having an average age between 50 and 80 years old, which produce very few bunches per vine, thus intensifying and greatly increasing the quality of the finished product.
Passion and creativity have led to the production of Spumante Brut ancestral method (fermented in bottle without adding yeasts and sugars), unique in the international wine scene.
Description
Negroamaro is an autochthonous vine from Apulia whose name derives from the dialectal expression "niuru maru", that is nero nero nero, the first deriving from Latin (niger) the second from Greek (mavros). Black are in fact both the color of the grape and the color of the wine. To make this wine we manually select the grapes that ferment thanks to indigenous yeasts in temperature controlled stainless steel containers. The result is a smooth and versatile wine with typical fruity notes.
