Winery
"Feudi Salentini" is a clear reference to Feudalism, when Carriages and Castles, Ladies and Knights were the protagonists of the magnificent panorama of this enchanted land where wine was considered the most prestigious and healthy drink.
Cosimo and Maria Teresa Varvaglione, with a team of young collaborators, every day write a story made of quality and love for this land. Vines cultivated as alberello, grapes harvested by hand as in the past, ancient knowledge handed down over time...
In the winery, ancient traditions and modern technologies transform extraordinary grapes into excellent wines. Feudi Salentini was established in 1994 in Leporano in one of the most beautiful areas of Salento, surrounded by vineyards, ancient olive trees and a crystal clear sea. We believe that the quality expressed in a wine can become the symbol of a territory, of a history that repeats itself, of a passion long generations. These awards give energy to a young and motivated group led by Cosimo and Maria Teresa Varvaglione.
Description
Sassirossi is a Primitivo di Manduria DOP, a typical grape variety which originates in southern Italy in the area of Manduria, in the province of Taranto, an area in Apulia which touches both the coast and the hinterland.
The vines from which Sassirossi - Primitivo di Manduria DOP is produced grow on a sandy-calcareous soil having a high content in iron, so much that it takes on its characteristic red color.
It is exactly from the pebbles in the soil, which become red when they come in contact with the ground, that the name of this Primitivo di Manduria DOP comes from.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Full-bodied wine, deep red color with garnet hues and a bouquet that is the perfect harmony between spicy, balsamic notes and ripe red fruit.
Its intense taste is completed by ripe tannins that release a touch of black pepper on the tip of the tongue.
Storage time:
9 years
Vinification
temperature controlled maceration at 26°- 28°C
