The soils in the region of the Fabio Cordella winery in Apulia are notably diverse and fertile. They primarily consist of calcareous clay and sandy loam, which provide optimal conditions for growing Primitivo and Negroamaro. This soil composition ensures 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 characteristic subtle bitterness of these wines. Negroamaro wines are full-bodied and rich in flavors of dark berries, plums, herbs, and a hint of tobacco.
