Tenuta Viglione Falanghina Maioliche

Tenuta Viglione is an organic producer family-run, sitting on the
borderline of Basilicata and close to Gioia del Colle (translating to
Joy of the Hills) and historical town of Matera. Soils have a mix of
clay and limestone and fossils from when the land was under the sea,
giving their wines fresh minerality. The Maioliche range can be
recognised by their tile-inspired labels by the Italian pottery style it
is named after, offering the “perfect balance between tradition and
modernity”. The range includes indigenous varieties of Primitivo,
Negroamaro, Nero di Troia, Falanghina and Fiano.
The heel of Italy, Puglia is a southern region known for its warm
Mediterranean climate with the name thought to be derived from the Latin
`a-pluvia` or lack of rain. This fertile region along the Adriatic
coast is the heartland of the Primitivo grape variety (claimed as the
origin of California`s Zinfandel variety). Particular DOCs known for
distinctive quality include Salento, Manduria and Gioia del Colle. The
region is also known for a range of other native varieties such as
Negroamaro, Susumaniello, Nero di Troia and Verdeca.
