Masso Antico is the essence of Salento in a glass. Fine wines born from withered grapes and crafted with passion, following ancient Apulian tradition. A unique sensory experience that celebrates the land.
In the heart of Salento, Masso Antico preserves the tradition of Apulian winemaking. The Alberello Pugliese, an ancient cultivation method, yields excellent quality grapes that are withered on the vine and refined in barrels. Passionate winemakers reinterpret history into eclectic wines, capable of expressing the colors and flavors of this generous land.
Perfect with first courses as orecchiette with sausage sauce, red meat as the typical bombette pugliesi and mature cheeses.
The grapes are grown in the vineyard of Tenute Masso Antico located in the heart of Salento, run according to the rules of organic farming. The grapes are selected in the vineyard and the vinification takes place in temperature- controlled steel tanks. At the end of the malolactic fermentation, the wine aged into French oak tonneaux with low – medium toasting for 4 months.
An intense ruby red colour, with fruity hints of plum and ripe cherry at the nose. On the palate it is very full-bodied but at the same time soft and velvety, with a long-lasting finish.
