About the Producer

In 1870 Noè Apollonio planted his own vineyard and produced wine for the first time. He owned a winery in his hometown Aradeo, in ‘Via dei Pozzi Dolci”, the street of wineries and pasta-makers. It was in this plant that he first turned into wine Negroamaro and Primitivo grapes harvested on chalky-clay soils from the nearby villages.

Driven by the same passion inherited from his father Noè, son Marcello proved to be just as hardworking and enthusiastic. After moving to the town of Maglie, he bought some vineyards and rented various wine plants all across the Salento territory. The increased production helped to satisfy his numerous clients, especially those from northern Italy. In fact, Salento’s wine - due to its high alcoholic content - then served as an excellent “blending wine” and wine merchants from Piedmont, Veneto, Lombardy and Tuscany bought it in bulk to bottle their wines.

At the end of World War II, while poverty was slowly giving way to an economic boom and the market was changing, Marcello’s son, Salvatore, realized that it was time to take advantage of new business opportunities. By introducing business management, he started a new era characterized by a more modern and efficient production, and in 1975 began bottling high-quality wines under the Apollonio brand.

Today and since 1995, Marcello and Massimiliano Apollonio represent the family’s fourth generation. Driven by enthusiasm and passion as well as by experience acquired on the field, they have been pursuing the ambitious goal of expanding the reach of their wines beyond the national borders. Under their new management, Apollonio has specialized in wine aging and expanded its retailing network. Apollonio’s wines are now sold in 35 countries, where they are greatly appreciated for their intrinsic quality and for telling the story of a family and a territory whose identities and authenticity have been left untouched.

Vineyard

Salento lies east of the Apulia region, in the deep south of Italy. Warm and friendly and preserved by a centuries-old isolation, it has kept its genuine folklore and ancient wine-growing tradition alive. Being as it is the heel of the boot-shaped Italian peninsula as well as its easternmost part – from the beautiful cliffs of the Adriatic Sea to the gentle, sandy beaches of the Ionian sea – Salento boasts the highest number of DOC wines produced in Apulia.

The production area is mostly flat, dotted with a few low hills. From a geological point of view, the region has a calcareous structure. Except for a few areas, its ground is mostly rocky, made up of stony layers and chalky banks.

Training system: old bush vines. Trunks are kept short: 40-60 cm high. Few buds (6-8) in order to ensure high-quality yields.

Vinification

Hand picking, after the grapes are fully ripe. In order to obtain a good structure, harvest is delayed so as to facilitate the concentration of sugar and extractive substances. After the start of fermentation, once the desired colour intensity is reached, the skins are removed from the fermenting must and the remaining sugars are depleted under controlled temperature.

Ageing

Apollonio Diciotto Fanali Salento Rosato ages in 12 months in acacia barrels and 6 months in the bottle before being released.

Tasting Notes

Bright salmon pink with hints of gold. Apollonio Diciotto Fanali Salento Rosato's fruity fragrances are reminiscent of ripe cherries and act as a perfect counterpoint to fresh, grassy undertones. On the palate it is dry, fresh and smooth with an initial roundness in the mouth that is followed by a subtle tannin texture. Elegant, fruity finish with hints of spices.

Analysis

14% alcohol vol.

Food Suggestions

A well-structured wine, it is best drunk with white or cured meats, foil-baked, grilled or stewed fish, and fresh cheeses.

Serving temperature: 10-12°C.

Cellar

At least 5 years from release, provided it is stored away from light, in suitable cellars at a constant temperature of 10-14 °C, 60-70% humidity, and lying horizontally so as to maintain the cork moist and elastic. Apollonio Diciotto Fanali Salento Rosato will acquire delicate teriary characteristics.
