Masso Antico is the essence of Salento in a glass. Fine wines born from withered grapes and crafted with passion, following ancient Apulian tradition. A unique sensory experience that celebrates the land.
In the heart of Salento, Masso Antico preserves the tradition of Apulian winemaking. The Alberello Pugliese, an ancient cultivation method, yields excellent quality grapes that are withered on the vine and refined in barrels. Passionate winemakers reinterpret history into eclectic wines, capable of expressing the colors and flavors of this generous land.
It pairs perfectly with grilled lamb, meatballs in sauce or chickpea soup.
The grapes, grown using the “Guyot” training method, are left to dry slightly on the plant and are harvested at the end of September, exclusively by hand. The grapes are carefully selected and de-stemmed. The fermentation process, which lasts about 20 days, takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature between 24° and 28° C.
After fermentation, part of the wine is aged for a short time in low-toasted French oak tonneaux to give light and pleasant vanilla notes.
Masso Antico Negroamaro da uve leggermente appassite stands out for its intense red colour and its purple hints. With a great impact on the nose, it expresses notes of mature red fruit, flowers and spicy notes. On the palate, it is warm, velvety, and fresh at the same time.
