BOTROMAGNO | Puglia

Table 24

Gravina Bianco DOP Organic Grapes Produced from a blend of Greco and Malvasia, Gravina Bianco is one of Italy’s most ancient white wines. Like many of the world’s most iconic wines, the grape varieties that traditionally produced this wine originated elsewhere but found their ideal habitat in Puglia. The wine gained DOC status in 1983 and is currently only produced by Botromagno, which has had great success with this wine in multiple export markets. From the 2013 vintage onward, the vineyards that produce Botromagno’s Gravina DOP wines are certified Organic.

VINTAGE: ______

“Rosé di Lulù” Murgia IGP Rosé di Lulù features fruit from the single-vineyard Vigna de Trono planted over 50 years ago to Nero di Troia. At once aromatic and highly savory in character, Nero di Troia (also: Uva di Troia,) is a significant and fine grape variety native to Puglia. Botromagno excel in producing red wines from this grape, and now have introduced a highly successful rosé from the same variety. High elevation at 700 meters ASL yields aromatic berries, and stainless steel fermentation/ageing ensure ideal varietal expression and freshness.

VINTAGE: ______

Primitivo Murgia Rosso IGP Due to its naturally low yields, Primitivo requires special care in the vineyard and ripens best when bush-trained. As if this wasn’t difficult enough, Botromagno plants its Primitivo at higher elevations to accentuate the acidity and finesse of the grapes.
