Grape Variety
Producer
Chardonnay Le Vigne di Sammarco
Fruity aromas of pear and gooseberries with nuts give this wine lots of appeal. It is soft with some residual sweetness. Chardonnay grapes were picked in August and softly pressed. The juice was fermented at low temperature, leaving 10 g/l of natural sugar.
Rosato Salento IGP
Negroamaro grapes were picked, lightly crushed and left to macerate on skins for 12 to 14 hours. It has intense aromas of pear drops and red berry fruits with a flavoursome palate and crisp acidity.
Salice Salentino Riserva DOP
Cellino San Marco lies to the north of the DOP region of Salice Salentino. Red wines are based on the sought after Negroamaro and Malvasia Nera grapes – in this case it is an 80:20 blend. Riserva requires 24 months of maturation prior to release and Le Vigne di Sammarco’s 2015 spent nine months in old oak barrels, producing a wine with mellow fruits aromas and sweet tobacco flavours.
