With this Castel del Monte Riserva DOCG Augustale, CRIFO brings the best of Apulian winemaking tradition to our cellars and tables. Produced with pure Nero di Troia grapes, a historical vine and symbol of the territory, this important red wine is born on the limestone hills of the Alta Murgia, east of Ruvo di Puglia. An area renowned for its vocation for high quality viticulture. The vines, trained by spurred cordon with a density of 4,000 vines per hectare, are over 30 years old. So they produce few bunches... but of very high quality. After manual harvesting, the grapes are immediately taken to the cellar for meticulous selection of the bunches. Pre-fermentation maceration at a low temperature enhances the primary aromas of the vine and is followed by alcoholic fermentation in steel, which lasts between 10 and 15 days. This is followed by soft pressing and malolactic fermentation, also carried out in steel, to soften the wine and reduce its acidity. The subsequent ageing is a long and complex process. For 12 months, the wine rests in wood, divided between second-passage barriques and large 80-hectolitre barrels. This passage enriches it with woody notes, increasing its complexity and pleasantness. Finally, a further 6 months of bottle ageing is foreseen to allow the wine to reach a perfect balance before being marketed. Deep ruby red, almost impenetrable, the colour anticipates its complexity. The nose reveals a rich and varied bouquet, with notes of red roses, potpourri and fruit under spirits mingling harmoniously with spicy hints of cloves, cinnamon and cinchona, and balsamic tones of menthol and aromatic tobacco. In the mouth it is warm and structured, with velvety tannins and a pleasant freshness to balance it all. The finish is long and persistent, with toasty and balsamic notes that invite you to take another sip. As far as food pairings are concerned, this Castel del Monte Riserva is at its best with rich, structured dishes typical of Apulian tradition. Perfect with cavatelli with lamb ragout, braciole al sugo and baked sausage with cherry tomatoes.

A Castel del Monte DOCG, this Augustale Rosato proposed by CRIFO is the winery's jewel in the crown. One of the best expressions, in pink, of an indigenous Apulian grape, Bombino Nero, symbol of the Alta Murgia. This rosé, in fact, was born in the limestone hills surrounding Ruvo di Puglia, an area where viticulture finds fertile ground, thanks to a soil rich in minerals and a climate that, with its temperature swings between day and night, favours optimal ripening of the grapes. For its part, Bombino Nero is a unique grape variety, known for its ability to produce rosé wines of great elegance and freshness. Cultivated using the spurred cordon system, with a density of 4,000 vines per hectare, it produces bunches of excellent quality, thanks also to a low yield per plant. Harvesting takes place in mid-October, when the grapes have reached perfect ripeness, with a good balance between sugars and acids. At that point, the vinification process is carefully supervised to preserve all the freshness and delicacy of Bombino Nero. Maceration in the press, lasting 4-6 hours, is essential to extract the fruity aromas from the skins without overloading the must with colour. Then the flower must, the most valuable, is fermented in temperature-controlled steel tanks. Maturation on the lees for 60 days follows, followed by a further 2 months in the bottle. Intense and luminous cherry colour, fading to bright ruby shades, the nose reveals itself to be rich and inviting, with notes of wild strawberries, pomegranate and geranium, anticipating a fresh and crisp sip of red fruit. In the mouth, it impresses with its balance, lively freshness and pleasant minerality. A full-bodied rosé, it is capable of surprising for its depth and its ability to combine lightness and complexity. Gastronomic pairings range from seafood to land dishes. Try it with stuffed mussels, focaccia barese and seafood risotto. The wine's freshness blends perfectly with the flavour of the dishes, enhancing every mouthful.
