They specialise in native Apulian grapes, and their \u003cstrong\u003eNegroamaro del Salento\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the finest examples of what this sunny southern region can do.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1839\" data-end=\"2159\"\u003eThe grapes for the\u003cem data-start=\"1858\" data-end=\"1905\"\u003e \u003c\/em\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNegroamaro del Salento IGT Villa Mottura\u003c\/strong\u003e are grown on clay and limestone soils, which add body and structure. The vineyards benefit from the dry Mediterranean climate and are cultivated using a mix of modern trellising and \u003cstrong\u003eold-school bush-trained vines\u003c\/strong\u003e, which give the wine extra concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2161\" data-end=\"2448\"\u003eAt harvest, the grapes are picked by hand at peak ripeness – no corners cut.
