Botromagno Botró

Wine Description

With a unique climate and geology like the one of Le Murge and two of the most noble white  varieties, not much more is needed to craft this easy to love Southern Italian. Oenologist Goffredo Agostini, believes in respecting the grapes for what they are and in letting the varieties express their best characteristics.

Botró is deliciously uncomplicated, perfect as an aperitif, with shell fish or for a sunny day at the beach. pairs well with nice people and good times.

Acclaim
“Botró is a 50/50 blend of Greco and Fiano from the Gravina area of Puglia. With no malolactic fermentation and rested in stainless steel rather than oak, the deep straw-yellow wine is especially fresh, fruity, bright, and aromatic. Botromagno is a privately owned winery partnered with more than 100 local grape growers. Perched on a steep crag, Gravina has been inhabited since the Paleolithic era – as well as featured in the next James Bond movie.”

About the Vineyard

Botromagno’s vineyards are organically trained without the use of synthetic pesticides or fertilizers nor the use of animal products. They are carbon neutral and regularly test their soils, water and air to ensure the highest standard for the grapes

Fiano is one of the oldest and most noble varieties of Italy. Pliny refers to it in his Naturalis Historia. This grape was nearly extinct in the 1940s, but today several producers are working with it and realizing its potential, especially when yields are kept low to bring out the subtle nuances of this grape.
Greco most likely originated in Greece and was brought over during the first millennium BC. Greco loves mineral soil, such as limestone, which turns this grape into a wine that has beautiful character, good body and is always refreshing.
