Integro Negroamaro

Winemaker Feudo di Santa Tresa on the winery

“With Integro, our aim is to create wines that are in harmony with nature and express the character of their origins as purely as possible. We work organically and vegan-friendly, respecting the vineyards and keeping intervention during winemaking to a minimum. Our philosophy is simple: intervene only when absolutely necessary, allowing each grape to express its own personality. Puglia offers ideal conditions for this approach, with abundant sunshine, a warm climate and grape varieties that have been closely connected to the region for centuries.”

And on Puglia, Italy

“Our Integro Negroamaro comes from San Donaci, in the heart of Salento. The warm conditions in this southern part of Puglia produce grapes with excellent ripeness and concentrated flavour. We use 100% Negroamaro, a native grape variety known for its deep colour and distinctive character. The grapes are harvested in the early morning and carefully handled. After destemming, the wine ferments for eight to ten days at controlled temperatures. Malolactic fermentation takes place spontaneously. The result is a medium-bodied, supple red wine with aromas of ripe raspberries and strawberries, soft tannins and a pleasant, spicy finish.”
