Una “Lacrima” (in English meaning “a tear”) suitably describes this pure Negroamaro rosato produced from grapes cultivated in the Serre di Terra d’Otranto area. It is the result of the slow fermentation of the “flower” must to produce delicate fruit perfumes and high sapidity. This rosato stands out in its uniqueness as a fresh, intense and elegant wine.
