CRIFO offers this interesting rosé ‘made in Puglia’. We are talking about Fuorilemura, 100% Nero di Troia, Puglia IGP Rosé, produced on the first hilly slopes of the Murgia, north-east of Ruvo di Puglia. A rosé that stands out for its elegance and ability to surprise with a freshness and complexity that one would not expect from a grape variety typically associated with intense red wines. Nero di Troia, a native Apulian grape, in fact, is known for its ability to produce robust and structured wines. But, vinified in pink, it reveals a completely different side to its personality, giving an explosion of fruity aromas and a pleasant freshness. In this case it is cultivated using the traditional Apulian pergola system, developing a complex and distinctive aromatic profile. Fuorilemura is the result of careful vinification aimed at preserving the integrity of the fruit and enhancing its natural characteristics. Harvesting, carried out manually at the end of September, allows only the best bunches to be selected. The grapes are then quickly transferred to the cellar and undergo destemming, with the addition of carbonic snow to prevent oxidation. After a short period of maceration at a low temperature, during which the must remains in contact with the skins for 4-6 hours, fermentation takes place in steel. The wine then matures for 30 days on the lees before being bottled, acquiring complexity and finesse. Soft and bright in colour, the nose immediately reveals a complex and intense bouquet, dominated by hints of fresh red fruits, such as wild strawberries and cherries, accompanied by floral nuances. In the mouth, the intensity of the red fruits blends with good acidity, giving freshness and liveliness. The finish is persistent, with a subtle savoury note that adds depth and makes each sip particularly pleasant. Ideal to be enjoyed young, to fully appreciate its freshness and aromatic explosion, this rosé is particularly versatile. Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with fish dishes such as seafood salads, linguine with scampi or seared red tuna.
The Cantina di Ruvo di Puglia is a fine example of cooperation that works and brings value to its territory. Its foundation dates back to 1960, when 28 winegrowers decided to unite to improve their bargaining power in the sale of grapes, which were often bought by large national groups. This union marked the beginning of a path of growth and transformation that, over the years, has led the Cooperative to evolve from a simple producer of musts to a winery capable of producing high quality bottled wines. In this journey, 2010 represents a milestone. That year saw the inauguration of a new winemaking facility, designed to process native Apulian varieties. The winery's vineyards cover an area that encompasses the provinces of Bari and Barletta-Andria-Trani, in the heart of Apulia. The proximity of the sea offers an ideal microclimate for viticulture, thanks to the sea breezes that mitigate the high summer temperatures typical of the area. The vineyards are cultivated using various traditional techniques, including the alberello and the Apulian pergola. Among the vines grown are the main indigenous varieties, such as Nero di Troia, Primitivo and Bombino Bianco. The historical name of the cooperative, Cantina della Riforma Fondiaria, is the basis of the acronym CRIFO, by which the Cantina's wines have always been known. Today, the Cantina can count on the cooperation of more than 400 members who guarantee an annual production of more than 8,000 tonnes of grapes.
