Vigneti del Salento Puglia I Muri Bianco

Winemaker Vigneti del Salento on the winery

“With Vigneti del Salento, our focus is on the distinctive grape varieties and character of southern Italy. Our winemakers, Danilo Gizzi and Filippo Baccalaro, work closely with local growers in Puglia. The combination of Mediterranean sunshine, cooling sea breezes and the experience of our growers forms the basis of our wines, bringing together the ripe fruit of southern Italy with freshness and an approachable style.”

And on Puglia, Italy

“Our I Muri Bianco comes from Salento, the southern part of Puglia, where the vineyards benefit from abundant sunshine and cooling influences from the Ionian Sea. We combine three grape varieties: the local Malvasia Bianca and Bombino Bianco with Chardonnay. After gentle pressing, the must ferments slowly at a low temperature in stainless-steel tanks to preserve its fruity and floral aromas. The wine then spends a further two to three months ageing on its fine lees. The result is a fresh, juicy white with notes of ripe yellow fruit, a gentle roundness and a pleasantly lively finish.”
