Vinification of Urpe Aglianico Salento IGP by Cantina Sampietrana

The grapes for the Urpe Aglianico Salento IGP come from meticulously tended vineyards located under optimal climatic conditions. Here, in the Salento region, the vines enjoy warm sunlight and fresh sea breezes. This promotes the full-bodied ripening of the grapes. The harvest is done by hand to select only the best fruits. Thus, only the ripest and healthiest grapes make their way to the winery.

After harvesting, the grapes are gently destemmed and subjected to a careful fermentation process. The mash fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless-steel tanks. Here, the aromas develop their full intensity. During the fermentation phase, regular pumping over occurs to optimize the extraction of tannins and color compounds. After fermentation, the wine is transferred to high-quality oak barrels.

The aging of the Urpe Aglianico Salento IGP occurs for several months in barriques. This phase imparts the wine with its characteristic structure and the complex aromas that integrate both the fruit and wood notes. After maturation, the wine is gently bottled to retain its natural freshness and aromatic profile.
