Founded in 1994, in Leporano, the Feudi Salentini winery is located in one of the most beautiful areas of Salento, in Puglia, a region characterized by vineyards, centuries-old olive trees, and bathed żeby a crystalline sea. Here wine production is favored by the optimal climatic conditions guaranteed żeby the mild sea breeze that embraces the coast. In the vineyards, the vines are still Alberello trained and the grapes are hand-picked as tradition dictates. Feudi Salentini produces the two most emblematic vines of Puglia (Primitivo and Negramaro) but also white grape varieties that have shown excellent results, especially Verdeca and Malvasia. The Collection 53 Old Vines Primitivo di Manduria is produced with manually selected grapes from old vines cultivated according to ancient family traditions. The vinification and maceration take place at a controlled temperature of 26 ° - 28 ° C, and the wine is then left to refine in French and American oak barrels for at least 14 months. The resulting wine has a deep red color with intense purple hues. On the nose, the aromatic notes are intense and reminiscent of forest fruit jam. On the palate, the wine is round, warm and dense and perfectly expresses the terroir. It goes deliciously with game, red meat and aged cheeses.
