Borgo di Gete Tintore 2017 I.G.T. Colli di Salerno Rosso

Borgo di Gete Tintore 2017 by Reale Azienda Agricola is a red wine with a strong connection to the territory, born between the Monti Lattari and the Amalfi Coast, in the municipality of Tramonti. It is a wine that authentically interprets the Tintore di Tramonti, a historic and identity variety, expressed here in a version of great character, built on old vineyards and on a mountain viticulture that is as challenging as it is fascinating.

Territory and wine style

The I.G.T. Colli di Salerno Rosso designation enhances an area suited for productions of strong personality, where the breezy climate and proximity to the sea help define tense and territorial profiles. The grapes come from historic vineyards in locations such as C.da Cardamone, Casa De Rosa, and Vigna Diana, with plantings dating back to the early decades of the twentieth century. The clayey volcanic soil, the west and northwest exposure, and the traditional pergola of Tramonti tell a typical production context that is coherent with a deep, identity-driven style and good structure.

Tasting notes

In the glass, the Borgo di Gete Tintore 2017 presents itself as a red with a decisive imprint, likely dense and intense in color. On the nose, it can express aromas of ripe fruit, spices, dark notes, and nuances related to the Mediterranean scrub and the volcanic territory. On the palate, it shows a structured profile, with a tannic texture that is present but integrated by aging in French oak barrels. The maceration of about 15 days and the 18 months of maturation suggest a harmonious, dry sip, with good persistence and a freshness that supports the drinkability.
