Every sip of Noscia is a journey through the golden paths of Apulia, a sensory walk among the sun-kissed vineyards
T he Noscia wine, fruit of the prized Francavilla grapes, reflects the authentic essence of the renowned land of Francavilla Fontana. Every step in its creation is a tribute to the tradition and craftsmanship that characterize Apulian wine production.
The harvesting of the grapes, which takes place around September 14, is a ritual steeped in devotion, where the first light of dawn gently caresses the clusters, preserving their aromatic integrity. It is a sacred moment, when the farmer's expert hand carefully selects only the best fruit, ensuring that only the quintessence of Francavilla finds a place in the creation of this extraordinary wine.
Once in the winery, the grapes undergo a soft pressing, a gentle gesture that delicately extracts the purest must, respecting their natural fragrance. The flower must, thus obtained, is left to decant at low temperatures overnight, allowing a slow and controlled maturation that preserves the variety's characteristic aromas and flavors to the fullest.
The fermentation that follows is a process that takes place with patience and dedication, lasting about 14 days at a constant temperature of 15°C, thus ensuring that each stage of the transformation takes place in a harmonious and balanced way.
But it is during the resting period on the lees that Noscia fully reveals its complexity and depth. For about six months, the wine rests in silence, enriching itself with nuance and complexity under the careful supervision of the winemaker. Through Battonage, a gentle operation of periodically agitating the wine on the lees, a greater integration of aromas and a creaminess that envelops the palate with a silky caress is achieved.
The end result is a masterpiece of aromas and flavors, an ode to the beauty and bounty of Puglia. The heady bouquet of tropical fruit, enriched by notes of typical local herbs, invites the taster on a sensory journey through the region's sun-kissed landscapes. The taste is a symphony of contrasts, with a lively freshness that blends harmoniously with an elegant minerality, creating a perfect balance that lingers in length on the palate.
Noscia is more than just a wine: it is an experience, an invitation to immerse oneself in the riches and secrets of one of Italy's most fascinating lands. Each sip is a tribute to the skill and passion of its creators, a tribute to the beauty and generosity of nature.
