Curiosity & insights
This wine is very special and represents our centennial history of winemakers. L'Emè is a unique blend obtained by three red grapes processing and ripening in purity which were selected from our family with time and experience; this wine it's made by the strength and longevity of the Aglianico that it's wonderfully supported by the fruity power and the fresh liveliness of other grapes. These last varieties, in fact, have been bred for years in the family's vineyard without commercial purposes, but for the sake of experiment and confront our terroir. They are the result of the selection made in the '50s on various plants brought from France as a gift from our wine commercial agents at that time. The exceptional quality of wines produced from these plants led us, in the 2006, to stake on revival of this historic project based on the same early spirit. Through the recovery in our vineyard of the historic plants, lasted several years, and cultivating them with low yield (only 40 quintals/ha) every year we get wonderful grapes. In our cellar, we limit enological operations at minimum to preserve at best these excellent grapes at our disposal. During the maturation frequent tastings and a selection manic permit us to express a great personality in The I Capitani red wine.
