He’s determined to prove the region's future lies in heat-hardy Mediterranean grapes, handling everything from vine to bottle on his family's estate to ensure a completely local production loop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fruit here is pulled from the Stocks Hill vineyard along Tatachilla Road, where vines planted in 2019 sit on a profile of brown-red loam over a limestone base. The farming is highly deliberate, utilizing the meticulous Simonit \u0026amp; Sirch pruning method to keep the canopy and yields strictly in check.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter a hand harvest in late March, the ferment was kept cool in open-top vessels with thirty percent whole bunches thrown into the mix. To preserve its natural drive, maturation was split between stainless steel and seasoned French oak, eventually going to glass unfined for a tiny run of exactly 1,207 bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is a restrained, mid-weight, distinctly European-leaning red that drinks beautifully from day one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cblockquote\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e95 points\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"The varietal choice is inspired by Fabiano Minchella’s time in Puglia, but the making leans into grenache and pinot noir methods, with 30% whole bunches. Negroamaro can be brutish, rich and animalic, with, as the name points to, a bitter (amaro) finish, but this is not that... It’s a truly engaging take on the grape.\"\u003cbr\u003e- Marcus Ellis (Halliday Wine Companion)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/blockquote\u003e","brand":"By Fabiano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44317469114411,"sku":"2024 By Fabiano Negroamaro","price":38.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2572\/9722\/files\/2024ByFabianoNegroamaro.webp?v=1784005978","url":"https:\/\/www.differentdrop.com\/products\/2024-by-fabiano-negroamaro","provider":"Different Drop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
