Mottola, between tours and quality wines at the winery the farm Petracavallo offers wonderful excursions in the countryside of agro of Mottola. The Rocky area is fascinating: trails and passes through woods and ravines, are offered by the owners of the farm family D’onghia Petracavallo. At the end of the excursion and after a walk through the vineyards, here comes a long-awaited guest: Negramaro of Petracavallo. The grapes are vinified as a Rosé. The grape is also used to express its potential with an unorthodox compared to winemaking traditions. Sometimes you have to give in to changing tastes, changing patterns of consumption. Although winemaking is responsive to fads (also not accustomed to wines tastes as to attract women), negramaro you can appreciate even in these production ambitions. The wine is intense. The short maceration on the skins without added yeast allows you to appreciate this very particular product. This wine is the expression of the territory where it is produced. The lands of the ravines, the resources of nature alone, the daily work of man are the main pillars of qualitative production. I urge you to go see the family D’onghia in their farm; After the usual walk through vineyards and ravines, you can refresh yourself with a cool Rosé negramaro natural. http://petracavallo.wine/vini/negroamaro/
