Masseria Ficarigna

A plant that defends itself but with a sweet fruit, like any real contrast. The prickly pear gives its name to Masseria Ficarigna which shows all the Apulian biodiversity in its labels. Located in Salento, in the heel of Italy, the vineyards benefit from an enviable climatic complexity, with the Adriatic and Ionian seas very close to varied terrains and an exposure always mitigated by sea currents. A guarantee of true balance for emblematic and representative wines that owe much of their fame to a land entirely blessed by sun.

Able to offer roundness and persistence thanks to temperatures and a full ripeness of the grapes, wines such as Primitivo (95 pt LM) and Negramaro (94 pt LM) offer measured vivacity, excellent persistence and a load of red fruits with some herbaceous note, lightly smoked. The Primitivo di Manduria Riserva (97 pt LM) is denser and of great impact, aged for 12 months in barrique and fascinating in terms of softness. Could not miss the Susumaniello (94 pt LM), known for the high productivity of the plant: great structure and with notes of black currant and great persistance on the palate. With these premises it will not be difficult to taste all the richness of Salento.
