Versante Negroamaro IGP 2021

Negroamaro from the Versante line is an uncomplicated red wine for many occasions: Pronounced cherry red color in the glass with a pleasant aroma of ripe red and black berry fruits. The taste is fruity-dry with mild acidity and soft tannins. - Gerardo [TS06/22]

"Also in good shape the supple Versante Negroamaro with spicy orientation." - Gambero Rosso

'Mineral cherry, maquis and sage. Juicy elegance on the palate, subtle tannins, delicate thread of acidity, natural and precise fruit at the beginning of its evolution to bottle maturity. An unobtrusive, downright light food companion." - Falstaff

Flaminio Ottavianello di Ostuni DOP 2017

This distinctive, delicate and floral red wine is made 100% from the native grape variety Ottavianello. This grape variety is traditionally grown in the Ostuni area and is regaining importance in the wake of the rediscovered grape varieties. Vallone's Ottavianello has great fruit, animating freshness and moderate tannins. - Gerardo [TS06/18]

Vigna Flaminio Brindisi Rosso Riserva DOC 2017

Vereto Salice Salentino Riserva DOC 2018

Rich crimson with dark reflections in the glass. The bouquet is characterized by cherry jam, black pepper, dried roses and fine smoke aroma. The palate is soft and fresh, with a pleasant bitterness. The aftertaste is clean and clear. - Gerardo [TS06/19]

"Quite intense, ripening red; coffee-like ripe nose; powerful, ripening fruity, tart." - Andreas März (MERUM)
"Dark ruby red. The nose is rich, powerful and complex with spices and hints of vanilla. On the palate a nice confirmation of the aromas on the nose, opulent but without sediment, fresh and balsamic." - Daniele Cernilli (Doctor Wine)

Passo del le Viscarde IGT 2006

The hot climate in the deep south of Italy provides the ideal conditions for this sweet wine: the grapes from the vineyards at Tenuta Flaminio are dried under the sun, resulting in a dessert wine that is sublime all along the line: elegance and sweetness in optimal balance, underscored by exotic fruit notes - equally present on the nose, palate and long finish. - Gerardo [TS06/07]

"With tantalizing hints of dried figs and almonds and a marathon finish, on the other hand, the Passo delle Viscarde, a cuvee of Sauvignon and 20 percent Malvasia, knows how to fully convince." - Gambero Rosso

Graticciaia · Salento Rosso IGT 2015

This red wine, made exclusively from Negroamaro grapes, is an Italian original of international fame: the particular production process is reminiscent of Amarone and Sforzato, with the grapes dried outdoors on the kiln, without the use of technology and following ancestral methods. Still dry, this straw wine has been one of the most interesting red wine specialties of Puglia for decades, with concentrated aromas of Amarena cherries and some cigar box. Still dry on the palate with lush berry fruit, while balanced and harmoniously structured. The name of this wine legend is Graticciaia. - Gerardo [TS06/16]

"Graticciaia is not just one of Italy's best wines, but also an historic one since it clearly brought into focus the up-until-then hidden qualities of the negroamaro grape. Uniquely creamy, with beyond-velvety tannins and loaded with aromas and flavours of strawberry jam, cherries macerated in alcohol and sage. Simply an exceptional wine." - Ian Domenico D'agata (Guida ai Miglori Vini d'Italia)

"Sparkling ruby with a slight garnet sheen. Opens with notes of dried mushrooms, some orange peel, fragrant, then shows fine notes of blackberries and dried herbs. Compact and dense on the palate, opens with dense tannin, of amazing elegance, fine red berries and fine melt characterize the wine in approach and course, long finish." - Falstaff

"The 2009 Graticciaia is one of the most distinctive wines to emerge from Puglia today. Fruit is sourced from ancient alberello or head-pruned vines and is air-dried on straw mats (called 'graticci' in Italian) for up to three weeks. Stylistically, the wine shares many of the dried fruit characteristics of Amarone from Northern Italy. This expression of Negroamaro delivers dark fruit aromas of prune, raisin, scorched earth and burnt almond shell. It ages in Allier and Never barrique for one year. The charred notes are very strong and come in stark contrast to the very noticeable jammy sweetness that this wine delivers to the palate. The finish is chewy, soft and very ripe.

Vallone is responsible for the only 'aia' wine of Puglia this is loosely inspired by the great 'aia' wines of Tuscany (Solaia, Ornellaia and Sassicaia) in terms of intensity and pedigree. But the winemaking methodology is completely different here. Vallone's Graticciaia is made with air-dried fruit similar to Amarone della Valpolicella. It represents a very special expression that will appeal to those who appreciate an extra dose of sunshine in their hot-climate red wines." - Robert Parkers Wine Advocate
