Varvaglione 12 and mezzo Negroamaro del Salento

The Negroamaro 12 e mezzo impresses with an intense aroma of red berries and pleasant spice, along with a subtle hint of vanilla. On the palate, it is soft, rich, and easy to drink, again with a touch of vanilla. The tannins from the barrique aging are beautifully silky and velvety, adding character and body. The wine is aged in barriques for at least six months, imparting a light, rounded touch of toasty aromas: vanilla, smoke, and cedar.

Varvaglione 1921

The family winery Varvaglione is located not far from the Ionian coast with a view of the Gulf of Taranto and the city of the same name, also known as “the city of the two seas,” which is washed by the Ionian Sea along the coast and by the inland sea “Mare Piccolo.”

The soils on which the vines grow are of different types, but mainly calcareous clay with fossils and iron oxides, which give the soil its typical reddish color.

The iron present in the soil helps with drainage and avoids stagnation after rainfall, and for this reason, the red earth is among the most suitable for wine production.
