The peculiarity of this wine, obtained from a blend of Negroamaro, Primitivo, and Aglianico, relies upon its vinification method which involves the use of millstones during the fermentation process. These ancestral elements had been used in Apulia since the first wine-making experiences, and various archaeological findings attested to their presence in the Salento area. They were made of stone and their characteristic shape (low, wide, and completely open) allowed better contact between the must and the skins with respect to the traditional winemaking methods, improving the dissolution of oxygen during the fermentation process. Nowadays, grapes are vinified inside the “modern” stainless steel millstones, whose shape and characteristics mirror the original ones. The wine obtained, with no oak refining, has a great structure, concentration, and a very high persistence; the complete extraction of all the skin parts and the greater dissolution of oxygen during the fermentation process resulted in more mature tannins, which become less aggressive and more long-lasting.
