A blend of 60% Aglianico and 40% Montepulciano fermented in stainless steel tanks.
Pier delle Vigne was produced for the first time in 1991, and with the exception of the 2002 growing year, has always been a star performer. lts namesake, Pier delle Vigne, was the right-hand man of Frederick Il of Swabia (CE 1090-5/6/1147) and the one who introduced the first red- wine grapes into this area. “His” wine is painstakingly produced from Montepulciano and aglianico grapes grown in our finest vineyards. lt is then aged for 24 months in once-used barrels to soften aglianico’s typically aggressive tannins, then the final blend is assembled and the wine receives another year of bottle-ageing. This is a powerful yet elegant wine, one that has become one of Puglia’s most sought-after treasures.
In 1991, the D’Agostino family merged with the local cooperative winery, creating Botromagno, the first successful example of a privately owned winery partnered with more than 100 local grape growers. The D’Agostino family has been able to foster a reliable and efficient synergy with the local farmers; based on strict standards for quality grape growing, they have rapidly become one of the finest wineries in Puglia.
