History and Production
Flaminio Ottavianello celebrates the rediscovery of the grape variety of the same name, which is historical to the Ostuni area. The grapes come from hillside vineyards (200-300m) on clayey soils. The vinification aims to preserve freshness and aromaticity, with a short maceration (8 days) and low-temperature fermentation. Aging is carried out in neutral materials (steel and concrete) followed by a short period in the bottle, keeping the wine round and ready to be drunk relatively young.
