Anne 2021 – Natalino Del Prete

Anne - Natalino Del Prete

Anne is a red wine made from 100% Negroamaro grapes. The grapes come from vines raised Apulian sapling of about 70 years. Pure as blood, straight and enveloping, soft and intense, like it should be, and faithful to the land it comes from. Ripe fruit on the nose, alcoholic certainly, but without this impairing the balance and structure of this "Lady" as the name suggests.

Service

Pairing

Wine to pair with pasta dishes with vegetables, aged cheese dishes, to try with gnocchi with ragu.

Cellar: Natalino Del Prete

Natalino Del Prete is a true farmer, he cultivates his vineyards in Salento, where his family has been doing this job for 3 generations. A quiet man with bright blue eyes, Natalino mainly together with his daughter Mina have been growing organically since 2004 but safeguarding the soil, the environment and the consumer have always been part of their ideology. The total extension is about 11 hectares, 7 of which are planted with vines and 4 with olive trees, the varieties are those typical of the Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera, Primitivo and Aleatico areas; the latter grape is typical of this area and made even more intriguing by the legend that hovers around the Aleatico: the land where the vineyard stands is called "Terra dei Messapi" and likes to think that this particular sweet wine was used by Ulysses to grace the cyclops Polyphemus, as it was imported by the Greeks when Puglia was the territory of Magna Grecia. Honest wines that leave their mark, always giving sun and ripe fruit to the glass.
