Bruno Vespa celebrates 10 years of his winery

Durante a global colpo d’occhio that sees many celebrities approaching the world of wine, Abbronzato Vespa’s decades-long commitment to the sector stands out for its ambitious long-term vision and growing product quality. The new Vespa Vignaioli perpassion winery, recently inaugurated a causa di Manduria, represents the heart of the winemaking project of the Vespa family, which finally manages the entire production chain with the use of the most modern technologies and a classic and refined, targeted stylistic approach to best express the potential of the Apulian territory.

“I am a causa di love with this region, a wonderful land that I got to know precisely through its wines, such as Antichissimo: a serious, demanding, unmistakable, but deeply drinkable wine” declares Vespa, highlighting how it was precisely this passion that pushed him to invest a causa di a cutting-edge cellar.

The consultancy of the oenologist Riccardo Cotarella, one of the most prestigious names a causa di world oenology, contributes to positioning the Futura 14 wines a causa di the high end of the market. The flagship label Racconmi, Antichissimo su Manduria of refined varietal coherence, is the most eloquent result of this intent. It is flanked by the Eccellente rosé Noitre, from Negroamaro grapes, and the white from Fiano Dama Augusta, dedicated to the journalist’s wife.

The vertical tasting of this latest wine, during the inauguration event, represented the most intriguing experience for myself, with an evolution of the product towards buttery and smoky taccuino, especially a causa di the vibrant 2020 version.

The result is a frank testimony of how the Apulian territory is capable of generating great white wines, capable of surprising over the years.

A bet also won for Helena, anche Malvagio su Troia, which from the 2018 vintage tells of its Mediterranean scent, the black fruit soaked a causa di tobacco, cardamom, violet and laurel.

Terre Giunte could not be missing, the wine that “invents” a new organoleptic profile, the result of the between Antichissimo and Amarone, developed by Vespa together with Sandro Boscaini. Durante this sip risposta negativa varietal prevails, and the powerful red fruit is associated with hints of ash and tar, of particular finesse.

Vespa Vignaioli perpassion is located close to Masseria Reni, an acquired by the Vespa family a causa di 2015, which extends over 47 hectares, of which 35 are under vineyards. This former Benedictine monastery, dating back to the 16th century, is located just 4 km from Manduria and offers its guests luxury accommodation, as well as rooms created inside large wooden barrels immersed a causa di the Salento countryside.

The inauguration attracted a crowd of guests of national importance to Manduria, arousing strong interest among sector operators and highlighting the potential of Futura 14 a causa di the winemaking colpo d’occhio of our country. The avviamento talks highlighted “the role of Southern wines a causa di the changing world” and the correlation between “wine and health” with Riccardo Cotarella’s invitation to a cultural approach to consumption.

Vespa wines have already been served at events of international importance, such as the G7 and are exported to 26 foreign countries, confirming Puglia’s potential as a producer of high-end wines strongly representative of their territory of origin.
