Description
Magredè
Magredè is a Dei Agre Red Negroamaro reserve wine! Made from grapes dehydrated on the vine due to the water stress of the 2020 vintage.
Thanks to aging in wooden barrels, Negroamaro's rough edges soften while the variety's characteristic spiciness is enhanced.

Winemaking
The grapes are hand-harvested in crates and brought to the winery where they're destemmed and crushed. Fermentation begins spontaneously with a "pied de cuve" prepared days earlier, to which the main grape mass is added to continue fermentation in fiberglass cement tanks.
Skin maceration lasts about one week with continuous pump-overs to enhance color extraction. The must is racked after completed fermentation. Malolactic fermentation follows, then a first racking during cool late autumn temperatures. Batonnage. Subsequent racking.
Aging
In spring, the wine is transferred to 500-liter second-use wooden barrels for 18 months of aging. This is followed by additional bottle aging.
