Puntalice

APPELLATION: DENOMINATION OF PROTECTED ORIGIN (DOP)

GRAPE VARIETY: 100% GAGLIOPPO

The Puntalice represents the tradition of the wines of the Senatore Family and is the one that, over the years, has received the most awards all over the world. This wine is obtained from Gaglioppo organic grapes grown with a reduced yield per plant in Senatore vineyard in Cirò. The selection and the collection of bunches is rigorously made by hand and is followed by an accurate vinification, with short maceration of the grapes, soft pressing and cleaning of the must. Fermentation is done in steel containers at controlled temperature. Refinement is made in steel containers, ageing on delicate sediments, and then short bottle aging before being sold.

Puntalice has a nice “rose petal” color. On the nose it has an intense and floral bouquet. On the palate it shows a full, soft and persistent flavor. Best served at a temperature of 12-14 °C with light dishes, especially fish and white meats. Enjoyable also for happy hour and as aperitif with snacks.
