Born and bred in the Itria Valley. Rampone is a pure Minutolo. This ancient grape, typical of our South and in particular of Apulia, is so called because of the particular shape of its bunches, composed of small and fragile grapes. Minuti, in fact. The Itria Valley is a particularly suitable place for the cultivation of this vine, which has only recently been rediscovered and enhanced. This is because here the vineyards enjoy unique conditions, thanks to a mild climate and wide temperature ranges that ensure the grapes ripen at the right time. The Rampone proposed here by i Pàstini has a beautiful straw-yellow colour in the glass with inviting greenish reflections of brilliant vivacity. The nose is intense, with a distinct aromaticity and delicate floral and fruity fragrances reminiscent of exotic fruits. It is well balanced in the mouth, thanks to its natural acidity. A white wine designed to accompany seafood cuisine, from raw fish to classic shellfish.
Pastinum', in Latin, was the hoe. And, by direct derivation, it also indicated the land destined for vines. Pàstino, on the other hand, is an ancient and difficult art that involves planting traditional vines in stone. Today, finally, the "i Pàstini" winery, in the heart of the Itria Valley, the land of trulli, represents the last line of defence of the ancient local traditions, fortunately combined with the most modern winemaking techniques. The result is a line of wines that represents the best of Apulian oenology. To do this, the company can count on grapes from the estate's vineyards, which lie in the heart of one of the most interesting areas of the region, between the towns of Locorotondo and Martina Franca. About 12 hectares in total, managed with passion by the Carparelli family. Among the vines grown are Verdeca, Bianco d'Alessano and Minutolo. White grape varieties that confirm the ancient viticultural vocation of our long "heel".
