LIRANU

NEGROAMARO ROSSO SUPERIORE DOP

RIFUGIO

PRIMITIVO SALENTO IGP

This wine takes its name from an underground shelter where the local inhabitants took refuge during times of danger. The surrounding area took the name Rifugio, particularly well-suited today for the cultivation of quality Primitivo grapes
  • AREA OF PRODUCTION:
    Veglie (LE)
  • VINEYARD:
    Saraceni
  • HECTARES:
    4
  • GRAPE VARIETAL:
    Primitivo

soil

Veglie: silty loam soil, with good drainage capacity. The soil in Veglie has a silty-loamy composition, with a significant advantage in terms of drainage. This is crucial for the cultivation of Primitivo grapes, because a good drainage prevents water stagnation around the roots, reducing the risk of root diseases and rot. The loamy component of the soil contributes to its porous texture, allowing the roots to breathe and extend freely in search of nutrients. This type of soil is favorable for producing high-quality grapes, as vines can grow optimally, ensuring uniform ripening and a balanced concentration of sugars and acidity in the bunches.
