Winery

At the base was a friendship rooted in jazz music, then matured and strengthened over the years through a shared passion for wine and the indigenous vines of the Tavoliere, but above all the conviction that even in the South they could produce fine sparkling wines, and the intuition - which later proved to be a winner - of being able to enhance in "bubbles" the indigenous Capitanata vine "Bombino bianco" that in sparkling wine can express itself in its fullness. The rest is entrepreneurial ability and an extraordinary attachment to the values of origin of the territory. That's how three friends, Girolamo D'Amico, Louis Rapini and Ulrico Priore (biographical notes) created, in 1979, the esteemed and renowned sparkling wine production "d'Araprì" (the brand name is given by the first letters of the three surnames read in succession), the only Apulian reality that produces exclusively sparkling wines with the classic method (i.e., with fermentation in the bottle, also known as the "Champenoise" method. 2019 sees the full entry of the new generation (in a sense, the passing of the baton), namely the children Anna d'Amico, Daniele Rapini and Antonio Priore with the transformation of the company into an Agricultural Society. And to celebrate the 40th anniversary a new rosé sparkling wine produced exclusively from Uva di Troia "Sansevieria." The Winery The activity is currently located in two facilities, in one (vendangerie) open from September to March, the period when the grapes are processed and turned into wine ( presses in action ), in the other, an ancient cellar of the 700 ( tour reception ) located in the historic center of the city, the wine already bottled with temporary corking, completes the production cycle. Some "historical" structures and equipment are kept alive here, and thanks to the peculiarity of the environment with highly sought-after architectural features. The House strictly adheres to the production methods dictated by the ancient craft tradition with scrupulous care of all stages of production

Description

The special feature of this Millesimato, identified by the initials RN, is that it represents the Riserva, aged for at least 36 months, of the Nobile Bombino Bianco grape, an indigenous grape of Capitanata that the House of Araprì has successfully experimented with as a base wine suitable for being made sparkling using the classic method. The technique of first fermentation in wood gives RN a sparkling gold color, a rich bouquet of ripe fruit and hints of vanilla. The taste sensations are savory, full and complex. The bottles rest for more than three years in the cellar's underground tunnels.

Organoleptic characteristics: 

Golden color with bright highlights with fine perlage and beautiful verve. Intense and elegant aromas, with buttery pastry tones blending with firm fruit of anans and banana and a hint of vanilla. On the sip it is full and complex, with a full and dynamic palate, yet at the same time full-bodied and voluminous, with an unforgettable taste pleasure. Perfect interpretation of the d'Araprì style that enhances the characteristics of the vintage

2-5 years old
