L′ASTORE MASSERIA
Via G. Di Vittorio, 1 73020 Cutrofiano (Le) - Cutrofiano (LE) Magazine: November 2007
Innovation refi nes tradition. That is the philosophy of L’ASTORE estate. Ancient roots, skilful use of the most modern cultivation and wine-making techniques, focus on quality. Luca Benegiamo and his brothers, with the assistance of the oenologist Riccardo Cotarella, are carrying out this ambitious project with success. L’Astore was one of the fi rst “masserie”, the typical agricultural estates of Salento, to be saved from a state of utter neglect with a loving restoration campaign. The beauty of the underground cellar built in the typical architectural style of Salento with star shaped vaults has caused many visitors to say it is one of the most charming wine cellars in Italy. Next to it, an impressive olive oil pressing hall built in the 1700s. L’Astore Salento IGT red, blend of Aglianico and Petit Verdot, is the top wine. Two other reds are produced namely : Argentieri Salento IGT red, blend of Negroamaro and Cabernet Sauvignon and Filimei Salento IGT red, blend of Negroamaro, Primitivo and Merlot. The white Krita Salento IGT is a blend of Chardonnay and Malvasia Bianca. MASSARO ROSA Salento IGT, the rosé, was the winner of the ROSALENTO 2006 Prize.
