Leverano
Wine · PDO · 1 municipality
Established in 1981 in Puglia, the Leverano appellation imposes highly specific production laws that distinguish its wines. Crucially, Leverano mandates that the vintage year must be printed on the label for every single bottle across all wine typologies. For the red wines, the base Rosso requires a minimum of 50% Negroamaro, yielding a dry, harmonious profile with a delicate bitter finish. Cellar rules further differentiate the portfolio: while the Negroamaro Rosso Riserva demands 24 months of aging with at least six months spent in wood, the base Rosso Riserva requires the same 24 months but has no wood aging requirement.
