Description

COPERTINO DOC Rosso Riserva – Cantina Cupertinum: The wine of the great Salento tradition, made with Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera, and Montepulciano. The Riserva stands out for its prolonged aging (8/9 years) in vitrified cement tanks located underground in the cellar, a traditional method that gives the wine evolved, complex tones and a persistent finish of almond and black currant.

Story and Winemaking

The Copertino Riserva is the emblem of Copertino’s winemaking tradition. The Negroamaro grapes (with Malvasia Nera and Montepulciano) come from old 40-year-old alberello vines. Winemaking includes a long maceration of 7/8 days, but the true distinctive feature is the very long aging process. The wine matures for almost a decade in contact with the large underground vitrified cement tanks, a technique that favors a slow and complex evolution, giving the wine its typical ethereal amplitude and mature tones.
