Features
Name:
Bianco Giugno Verdeca Valle d'Itria IGP 2025
Terrain:
Shallow and medium-fine textured
Cellar
Cantina Elia is located on the walls of the historical centre of Ceglie Messapica, in the territory of Valle D'Itria, the valley of the trulli.
This geographic position gives the possibility to work with the most important autochthonous vineyards of Apulia: the Negramaro vineyard in the Torre Guaceto area, the Susumaniello in the countryside of Brindisi, the Primitivo bred with the alberello system in Manduria and finally the Verdeca in Locorotondo. It is a small family-run business led by Sergio Elia, who graduated as a wine technician in Locorotondo and graduated as an oenologist from the Catholic University of Piacenza. Over the past 13 years he has broadened his knowledge of the wine world by working in Bolgheri, Barossa Valley, French Switzerland and finally Barolo.
The style of Cantina Elia's wines is the combination of all these experiences.
