Masseria Surani Sorani Negroamaro Puglia IGT

From the vineyards of Masseria Surani, in the Salento Region. The vines are Guyot-trained and organically grown; the soils are limestone-based and are rich in iron. 8-10 hours’ maceration on the skins. 10-12 days’ fermentation in stainless steel at controlled temperatures, never higher than 13°C. At least 4 months’ bottle-aging.

Tommasi's passion for wine and the desire to discover and select the very best in Italian winemaking brought them to Puglia. Around 80 hectares of land have been purchased in Manduria, in the Salento area, one of the finest zones for the cultivation of the Primitivo grape, where viticulture has extremely ancient origins, dating back to the time of Magna Graecia.

The property, which lies about 6 km from the Ionian coast, also includes a manor house called “Masseria” dating back to the early 1900s, a typical complex of agricultural buildings which originally acted as an organisational centre for all of the farming operations. Following refurbishment, the Masseria now houses a winery of 700 sqm complete with vinification and maturation facilities.
