Story and Winemaking

The wine is named after the ancient “Porta Malassiso” of Copertino. Produced only with the best grapes from the most suitable vintages. The Negroamaro grapes come from old bush vines between 40 and 80 years old, while the Montepulciano (30%) comes from the last remaining vines in this historically suited area. The aging is long and meticulous: one year in concrete, one year in barrique, and one year in the bottle, ensuring uncommon elegance and power. The Montepulciano is expertly used to enhance the color and perfectly soften the tannic edges of the Negroamaro, creating a perfect balance.
