98/100 Luca Maroni – Leading Italian Wine Critic
Winery notes (2021 Vintage)
"Made with an ancient farming technique, probably born before the first winemaking and vine training of the Vitis Vinifera. It consists to leave the grape on the plant beyond the full maturation to let it loose water, concentring sugar and acids in order to make the grape stronger in case of a longer storage. This technique reaches Apulia, and in the area of Salento somebody understood that pressing raisins it gets a richer and more concentrated must, from which a more robust wine, durable and long lived, very important features for trading at that time.
For this reason these technique gets place in the tradition, and that is why we make our LuLi: full bodied wine, satisfying and longlived, which celebrates tradition, work, and people who contributed so much to the history of this land. Intense deep ruby red. Wild berries on the nose, red flower, aromatic herbs, humus and eucalyptus. Very fruity in the mouth, wellbalanced, mouthfilling with a great persistence. Great with First courses with meat sauce, polenta, grilled meat, buffalo stews, medium and aged cheeses."
