Mezzogiorno IGT Bianco Salento
The original vine material is from 2 vineyard selections of Fiano from Campania. The vineyard
was established in 2005 and is located next to the bush vine Primitivo vineyards in Manduria. The
soils are red sandy clay over limestone, unusually combined with particles of quartz, particularly in
this part of the vineyard.
Harvest and Fermentation
The grapes were hand picked in small boxes early in the morning and chilled over night. The
bunches were pressed whole in a vertical basket press. The juice had a slight sedimentation without
use of enzymes, then was fermented directly, a part in large oak and the other in stainless steel.
After 7 months of lees stirring the wine was racked then passed through a light filtration before
bottling.
Wine style
Mezzogiorno has a floral nose with hints of citrus and some toasty oak. The mouth is rounded
nectarine fruit with a long crisp lemon mineral finish.
