Fiano Salento Torremossa IGT 2024 - Li Veli

About the wine

The Masseria Li Veli, located in Salentino, was built at the beginning of the twentieth century by Antonio De Viti De Marco as a model cantina for the whole of southern Italy. About ten years ago, the Falvo family acquired this estate from the founders of Avignonesi in Montepulciano. The vineyards have been replanted with Puglia's traditional varieties Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera and Primitivo. All vineyards were created in the tradition of Salento using the Alberello technique (trees). This elaborate breeding method only allows manual work. Regular and perfect ripening of the grapes is the reward for the increased effort. The wineries have now also been carefully restored and equipped with the latest technology. The results of the efforts show that it is also possible to produce wines of great elegance in the extreme south of Puglia. Since 2005, all grapes from Li Veli have been certified organic. Their wines embody the combination of character, typicity, harmony and elegance. The young wines should be harmonious and lively, and the more structured wines should express their particular elegance and complexity over time. Pezzo Morgana is the name of the vineyard, around which there are centenary olive trees.
