Locorotondo. Apulia. Itria Valley. It is here, in vineyards located between 300 and 450 metres above sea level, that Masseria Tagaro gives life to one of its wines. A very pleasant Apulian white wine that comes from a successful blend of three native grape varieties: Verdeca 65%, Bianco D'Alessano 30% and Fiano for the rest. After the harvest, the grapes are brought to the cellar to begin the vinification process. Destemming and immediate reduction of the temperature of the crushed grapes are essential to safeguard the finest part of the varietal aromas. Maceration of about 12 hours then follows and, after soft pressing, alcoholic fermentation takes place, again at a controlled temperature. This is followed by a phase of refinement in contact with its fine lees for about 3 months and then rests for another 30/40 days in the bottle. Straw yellow with greenish reflections, it has a fresh and fruity bouquet. Elegant and persistent, it has a fresh and pleasant taste. Excellent with risotto, fish dishes and soft cheeses.
There are corners of Italy that should be visited at least once in a lifetime. Among these, in our very personal classification, we include the Itria Valley, the heart of the most authentic Apulia, where the hills are home to vineyards, often ancient, that grow cradled by a mild climate and under a warm and generous sun. Here, on a plateau about 450 metres above sea level, is Masseria Tagaro. Its approximately 40 hectares of vineyards are home to the best-known indigenous grape varieties of reason, which are proudly enhanced and offered in different lines. Traditions and cutting-edge technologies coexist in the ancient masseria to give life, year after year, to authentic wines, respecting the memory of three generations of winegrowers.
