Fabio Cordella – “Yago” Salice Salentino

The soils in the region of the Fabio Cordella winery in Apulia are marked by remarkable diversity and fertility. They primarily consist of calcareous clay and sandy loam, providing optimal conditions for the cultivation of Primitivo and Negroamaro. This soil composition allows for excellent drainage and promotes the development of intense flavors in the grapes. The mineral structure of the soils imparts an 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 known for its deep, ruby-red wines. The name "Negroamaro" means "black and bitter," reflecting the intense color and the characteristic slight bitterness of these wines. Negroamaro wines are full-bodied and rich in aromas of dark berries, plums, herbs, and a hint of tobacco.
