AMALUNA EXTRA DRY SPARKLING WINE

HISTORICAL AND TECHNICAL NOTES

Amaluna is the first sparkling wine made in Salento! A Charmat Method obtained from 100% Negroamaro grapes, with which we inaugurated the sparkling wine production plant. A challenge that we strongly desired, and won, strong in our trust in our typical grape variety par excellence, Negroamaro. The name Amaluna celebrates the moon, that feminine generator principle, that mother to whom we entrust ourselves, so often evoked by farmers in their dreams and expectations.

The first sparkling wine from Salento is aimed at all age groups, the finest palates and those who are approaching the world of wine for the first time, also taking on a social character. These extraordinary Negroamaro grapes are harvested at the end of August, in order to preserve their freshness, vinified in white therefore with immediate separation of the skins from the pulp, and made sparkling with the Charmat Method.
