Sud del Sud
Marriage between indigenous and international cultures. On the label the sculpture that was donated to the city of Lecce by us and by Maestro E. Pignatelli, which exhorts the city to be a place of cultural fusion.
TENUTE EMÉRA - Lizzano (TA) - APULIA

An ancient farmhouse and a modern subterranean cellar, with sustainable architecture. A few km away, an aristocratic hunting lodge surrounded by vineyards that run towards the nearby coast, raised between the two seas, where once the land was completely submerged. Essential soil, composed of sand, clay and silt, forms a good nutrient base and provides excellent drainage, while the sea breeze refreshes the vineyards during the night, after the sultry summer days.

The selected grapes were harvested at different times of ripening (from the end of August to the end of September).

Sud del Sud tells with a blend of native and international vines, grown in a single plot, the uniqueness of artistic creation and the essence of the culture of the South - the "South of the South of the Saints", quote from the Apulian genius Carmelo Bene - who unites global cultures in the sign of integration, acceptance, rebirth. On the label is the sculpture that is a symbol of welcome, Germinazioni1, created by Maestro Ercole Pignatelli and donated by the Quarta family to the city of Lecce.

Tasting notes and pairings
Ruby red color with an impenetrable texture, medium-full body. Nose of vanilla and spices intertwine the mix of ripe fruit, blackberry, crème de cassis, espresso and aromas of black olive and herbs. Full and soft palate. The warm spice tones are felt, with a bright acidity and soft tannins that hold it all together. Well assembled, juicy, it offers a rich and smoky finish. Ideal for enhancing rich dishes, with a full and decisive taste, even of orien- tal cuisine. Excellent companion to rigatoni with meat sauce.
