Graticciaia Agricole Vallone - The meticulously graded Negroamaro grapes are laid out on straw mats to sun dry. They lose part of their liquid, thus enhancing their flavour prior to fermentation. The grapes are then carefully vinified and matured slowly in wood. The result is a massive, generous, and opulent wine, which is only produced in outstanding years.
An outstanding wine with rich, full bodied aromas of black cherry fruit, tobacco, chocolate, orange peel and old smoky wood. The palate is generous showing opulent sweet fruit, a hint of spice and delicious savoury, meaty twist on the intense and long finish.
Graticciaia is made exclusively from Negroamaro grapes cultivated in Vallone's Flamino Estate in the Flaminio countryside in Puglia. The estate is surrounded by century old olive groves that slope gently down to the Adriatic. This award-winning wine is consistently rated amongst the best in all Italy.
