MAGLIOCCO DOLCE
A red wine that evokes an intense and emotional state of mind, like the name it bears, like the passion of those who have zealously tended it in the vineyard and cared for it in the cellar until its maturity.
The person who observes, tastes and grasps the nuance of this wine, will perceive the incredible variety of scents and fragrances according to the emotional states of that moment, and will hold this libation in a personal memory that will give new emotions the next time.

THE TERROIR
The vines of this vineyard, about 5.00 ha in size, sink their roots into a red clay soil that gradually becomes whiter and whiter along the slope. The component of sand and stones, which increases in depth until it reaches the limestone substrate, ensures the right amount of moisture, which reduces water stress during the hotter periods. In the late morning, the wind blows from south to north, reaching peaks of 30 miles/h, due to the inexorable attraction, from the cool peaks of the Pollino, of the mild breeze that rises from the sea and sweeps away the humidity, mitigating summer temperatures and ensuring healthy vineyard.
IN THE VINEYARD
Organic production consists of preventive zeolite’s use, copper and sulfur-based treatments, and exclusively manual and mechanical in-row weeding, mowing of weeds, no fertilizers’ usage and only natural irrigation from the rain. Elimination of shoots during green pruning and thinning of clusters at veraison to meet the prefixed best load. During the harvesting, the clusters are selected one by one by expert hands, and harvested in 33-lb crates to bring only healthy, ripe grapes to the winery in small 30-box loads.
IN THE CELLAR
After about 12 months of aging in wood barrels, the wine is bottled without the aid of clarifiers and without tartaric precipitation. After about 36 months of aging protected in wooden crates, the bottles are labeled and ultimately ready for consumption.
The grapes are manually selected, placed in small crates, emptied into the crusher-destemmer, and the berries are lightly crushed. Alcoholic fermentation and maceration take place in 264 gl stainless steel tanks, skin contact with the must varies from 12 to 15 days, pumping over for the first two days followed by two délestages per day with temperature control. Soft pressing of pomace by hydraulic vertical press with stainless steel cage. After racking, immediate racking into 264 gl barrels and French oak barriques follow. Daily batonnage until first racking follows. Natural malolactic fermentation in barriques. After about 12 months of maturation in wood, the wine, without the aid of clarifiers and without tartaric precipitation, is bottled and the bottles, after about 36 months of aging protected in wooden crates, are labeled and are then finally ready to be enjoyed.
