Pezzo Morgana Salice Salentino Riserva DOC 2022 - 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, the founders of Avignonesi in Montepulciano, bought this property. The vineyards have been replanted with Apulia's traditional varieties Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera and Primitivo. All vineyards were planted in the Salento tradition using Alberello technology (tree). This complex growing method only allows manual work. Regular and perfect ripening of grapes is the reward for the increased effort. Now the wineries have also been carefully restored and equipped with the latest technology. The results of these efforts prove that it is possible to produce wines of great elegance even in the extreme south of Apulia. Since 2005, all Li Veli grapes 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 surrounded by hundred-year-old olive trees.
