Taurino
The Taurino family have been wine producers for over a century and the heart of their farm is the "Notarpanaro" vineyard which in the past used to be known as "Notare Panaro". The struggle to bring the soil from what was once a wild and abandoned land under cultivation byte planting of vineyards, and the loving care they give to the grapes, is testimony to the skill and also the passion that the Taurino have for the art of grape-growing and wine-making. It is also testimony to their love of the local grape variety, Negroamaro, which forms the base of all of their wines.
A fascinating variety, characterized by a wonderful rich medicinal character and juicy black fruit, Negroamaro is shown at its very best and in many diverse styles by the Taurino family. From its most traditional form “Salice Salentino Riserva” to a pure, barriqued style in the signature wine Notarpanaro, to the rich, dark “Patriglione”, made from raisined Negroamaro grapes. The farm has even produced a rosato from the variety; “Scaloti” is a deep pink, firmly-structured rose which is full of flavour.
