WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Paolo Leo Nero Amaro is produced using 100% Negroamaro grapes. After harvest, the grapes undergo fermentation, likely in stainless steel tanks to manage temperature and preserve fruit characteristics. The wine is then aged in French oak barrels, a process that contributes to its structure and complexity. The winery utilizes both espalier and traditional Apulian sapling training systems for its vines, which vary in age.
