No seats are added at the table after dinner.
°COMMUNICATE ALLERGIES AND INTOLERANCES -> CELIAC DISEASE: In order to serve celiac guests, it is not only necessary, by law, to have gluten free products, it is also necessary to use environments free from gluten contamination.

The “paparina” is the green part of the red poppy plant (Papaver Rhoeas), a wild vegetable typical of the Salento region, highly valued and commonly used in local cuisine. It is harvested in the fields before the plant produces flowers, between the end of January and mid-April.

Wild chicory, small and tender, like most bitter greens, has purifying, diuretic, and stomach-toning properties; it also stimulates liver function, acts as a bitter tonic, and has a mild laxative effect. In ancient times, this vegetable was highly valued and was always present on Roman tables. (NOTE: this is a wild variety, therefore more bitter in taste.)

On the nose, it fully reveals the varietal’s character, with notes of fresh fruit such as peach and pear, enriched by delicate aromas of white flowers.
On the palate, it is light-bodied, lively, and well-balanced, finishing with good persistence and a pleasantly almond-like aftertaste.

Alcohol content: 12.00% vol.

Pairing: This is a wine to be enjoyed young, served at 6–8°C. Its moderate alcohol content makes it the perfect complement to a seaside aperitif featuring raw seafood.
Sensory notes: Its aromas evoke small red fruits, such as raspberry and wild strawberry, with mineral hints, perfectly reflecting the characteristics of the grape and the terroir. On the palate, it is strikingly fresh, pleasantly savory, and has good persistence.
Alcohol content: 12% vol.

ROSATO Ambrà negroamaro IGP Salento
L’Ambrè is a rosé wine made from 100% Negroamaro grapes, whose full typicity is immediately evident in its brilliant coral-pink color.

Hints of Mediterranean scrub and salty minerality reveal its maritime origin.
On the palate, it is satisfying, with pleasant freshness and savoriness balanced by the wine’s softness. The finish is persistent, with a subtle tannic presence that leaves a lasting impression.
This Negroamaro rosé pairs with countless dishes. It is perfect with fish-based first and second courses, especially those with a light tomato presence, such as pasta with monkfish or fish soup. It also complements white meats and is excellent served with the traditional Salento frisa.
Alcohol content: 13.00% vol.

ROSSO Guercio Nardò Rosso DOP Negroamaro Barricato 2021
Vino ottenuto dalle rare uve della DOC NARDO’ Negroamaro 100%, e si presenta con il caratteristico colore rosso rubino con sfumature aranciate.Intenso e complesso all’olfatto, con sentori di frutta rossa matura, visciola, prugna, mora. L’eleganza è conferita da delicati accenni floreali e da una chiusura di spezie dolci. Vino di struttura, al palato, alcolico ma mai pesante per la nota di freschezza che ne accompagna il sorso. Piacevolmente sapido, quasi salmastro. Perfetto l’abbinamento a tutto pasto: primi piatti di grande struttura, come la tipica pasta fresca con ricotta forte o le zuppa di cicerchie. Ottimo se accompagnato con carni rosse e cacciagione e formaggi a pasta dura.
Gradazione alcoolica: 14,00 % vol.

ROSSO Gea Mater Primitivo IGP Salento 2022
Dai 5 sensi: Ben si presta ad essere abbinato a taglieri di salumi e formaggi, a primi piatti di struttura, come la pasta ripiena o la parmigiana di melanzane. E’ il completamento ideale di pietanze a base di carni, come i tipici involtini di agnello. Da provare con la pitta di patate.Il Gea Mater esprime, all’olfatto, tutta la tipicità del vitigno: apertura marcatamente fruttata, ciliegie e more ben mature, cui si accompagnano sentori di violetta appassita ed un piacevole sottofondo speziato. Il sorso è pieno, appagante, morbido ma perfettamente bilanciato da una vena di freschezza che non ne appesantisce la beva. Piacevolmente tannico e di buona persistenza.
Come si conserva: una volta aperto si conserva per 3 giorni fuori frigo e lontano da fonti di luce e calore
Curiosità: invecchiamento di 2 anni
Gradazione 14%
