Late afternoon
Return to Al Celone.
Huge marble quarries surround the vineyards of CANTINE LE GROTTE, a winery in Apricena (fg). The small village, located close to the Gargano, is famous for the quality of its stone and for its excellent wine and is appreciated for the fertility of the soil and the pleasant climate. In the company you can breathe the scent of the centuries, of the history that has made this territory important and of the tradition that survives and makes its way in progress. Guiding us on this journey between stone and wine is Biagio Cruciani, the company’s commercial director who tells us about a firm with a strong identity whose birth is closely linked to that of the city. Apricena is “attached” to the history of its stone, and that of Cantine Le Grotte embraces the tradition of local marble. The vineyards from which the wine is produced are planted in the Dell’Erba family’s quarries. The family marble tradition is also imprinted on the company logo: a large block of stone split by a vine, two elements of nature that coexist with each other. It is precisely from the living rock, from the fertile earth, that the history of the Cantine Le Grotte plant is born, immersed in nature and surrounded by greenery. It is a palette of colors that presents itself to our eyes.
The white of the nearby stone quarries allows the green of the landscape to triumph with its immense seasonal shades, while the blue of the sky divides the green of the sea from Lake Lesina and the Tremiti Islands in the background. The vineyards are located at the foot of the Gargano and have their roots in limestone soils rich in minerals, the same where the best Apricena stone is grown. The company produces excellent autochthonous red wines such as Nero di Troia and Primitivo along with international wines such as Merlot and Sirah that have adapted well to the warm and temperate climate of the area. Respect for the area of origin is one of the characteristics in which the company continuously invests. His philosophy marries a concept of cultivation in which nature does its job. The link with Apricena is also told through the names of the wines. Petrata, for example, is vinified in red from the Nero di Troia grape or in white from Bombino and is the “Italianized” version of the dialect term that indicates the cava. The red has powerful hints of blackberry, while the white is finer and more fruity. The Selva della Rocca, vinified in red (Primitivo and Nero di Troia), rosé (Nero di Troia) and white (Falanghina) bears the name of the Sanctuary of Santa Maria Selva della Rocca di Apricena, probably built between the 8th and 9th centuries. the work of Benedictine monks and they are all fine wines, with intense, fruity and floral aromas. Do not miss the sparkling wines in the Charmat and Merlot Classico versions and to complete the line the Sico haute cuisine version identified by a label that depicts a medieval coin called “Sicone” from the Lombard period found in the existing vineyards. Wines that symbolize gratitude and respect for this land and which are inspired by it to offer the consumer all their goodness.
