Rampone - Minutolo
Rampone
£21.00
Tax included
Minutolo is a native white grape variety typical of the very limited area of the Itria Valley.
This variety had been almost completely lost until our family became the promoter of its rediscovery and redevelopment.
A very difficult vine to work, sensitive to some ampelopathies, not very productive, with a strong and particular aroma, a semi-aromatic vine whose presence in the territory of the Itria Valley dates back to ancient times. The old farmers had preferred to uproot these plants to make room for easier to care for and more productive varieties.
It was generically called Fiano but it belongs to the Moscato family. It was our family that gave a real name to this precious and ancient vine. We called it Minutolo because of the minute grapes that make up the bunch.
The Rampone is a pure Minutolo.
Straw yellow in color with bright, lively greenish highlights. Intense in its aromas, with a strong aromaticity, with strong floral fragrances of hawthorn, jasmine and wisteria, citrus of lime, cedar and green apple, and softer fruity notes such as yellow peach, mango, pineapple and exotic fruits in general.
Fresh, mineral, savoury, balanced, with good acidity and excellent predisposition to aging. Capable of giving exceptional performance with refinement.
Rampone is presented as a white wine made almost specifically for fish, shellfish and seafood dishes.
Located 350m above sea level; viticulture in this arid, rocky and calcareous terrain of Valle d’Itria is a challenging pursuit.
The terrain conspires with constant sunlight, uniform radiation and natural ventilation to create a formidable terroir that confirms I Pastini as the beating heart of Apulia’s white wine production.
In an area of 15 hectares, Minutolo, Verdeca, Bianco d’Alessano, Primitivo and Susumaniello are the local grape varieties cultivated from these extraordinary vines to make wonderful wines
Eschewing chemicals and emphasizing sustainable farming; the wheels of this organically focused, family estate turn through sheer will, passion and hard work.
The terroir provides the perfect growth of healthy grapes, a manual harvest undertaken by expert local labor selects the best of these and the finely evolved production does the rest!
The result…?
Ian D’Agata authoritative book “Native Wine Grapes of Italy” puts it rather well
“Carperelli has set up his own estate where he makes in my view, Puglia’s best white wines”
