History and Winemaking

“Altemura” comes from a 5-hectare vineyard with calcareous soil (70%) and red clay (30%). The grapes, manually selected and harvested at the right level of over-ripeness, are macerated for about 2 weeks. The wine matures for **14 months in 350-liter French oak tonneaux**, followed by **6 months of bottle aging**. The name honors the historic 16th-century Masseria structure.
