“His hands are dirty with earth this south, his face full of sulfur, the soul drunk with must; this south, the blackened stones and the fiery rows; ten years for millennia of history; this south.”
DieciAnni is the name that identifies these particularly valuable labels: to make this last wine, the winery took ten years in experiments and tastings: hence the name of these extraordinary wines.
The production area is North Salento. The harvest is done manually in the first decade of September.
