Fabio Cordella – “Wesley Sneijder” Salento Rosso

The soils in the region of the Fabio Cordella winery in Apulia are remarkably diverse and fertile. They primarily consist of calcareous clay and sandy loam, providing optimal conditions for cultivating Primitivo and Negroamaro. This soil composition allows for excellent drainage and enhances the development of intense aromas in the grapes. The mineral-rich structure of the soils imparts impressive depth and complexity to the wines, reflecting the character of the Apulian landscape.

The Negroamaro grape variety, primarily grown in Apulia, southern Italy, is renowned for its deep, ruby-red wines. The name "Negroamaro" means "black and bitter," reflecting the wine's intense color and characteristic slight bitterness. Negroamaro wines are full-bodied and rich in aromas of dark berries, plums, herbs, and a hint of tobacco.
