We don’t know if, after so many years, Luigi Rubino has a clear memory of the first time he set foot with his father onto the land of Jaddico. Like all children, he had yet to gain full knowledge of his future passions and aspirations. He couldn’t know that the person he’d become would be inseparable from this deep, sandy soil kissed by the sea. The same soil, that of the area lying just north of his hometown of Brindisi, his future self would touch, study, breathe in...

How was harvest 2016? Many people ask, mindful of the heavy rains that have affected some areas of Salento in the second week of September. A few days after completing the operations in the vineyard,  we decided to listen from the voice of Luigi Rubino, the balance of this  troubled vintage. Surprises are right behind the door. "First, it is worth specifying that we cannot use the word troubled for harvest 2016 - says the founder of Tenute Rubino - We had heavy rainfall from September 5 to 10, but until then, the weather conditions...

We continue our journey into the colour of the wine by analysing the characteristics of white wines. Refreshing and pleasant, very often white wines enchant the eye through their bright colours, a proof of their vivid acidity. All in all a good presence of acidity and minerality is what every producer aims to in the making of a white wine, whose main purpose is torefresh the palate of the consumer by stimulating salivation. Greenish yellow This colour indicates young wines with strong acidity. Never as in this case the...

In the sensory analysis of wine, one of the most commonly overlooked aspects is the visual examination. Think about it, as soon as a glass of wine is served, people start looking for scents right away, often without even looking at the content of the glass. Instead, visual examination is of fundamental importance for understanding the wine we are facing and provides us with useful indications on the product: • Alcohol content and structure • Winemaking techniques • Grape variety • State of development More than anything else, the visual...

Making wine is an art, you know. More and more people are fascinated by this art, which in this period is in full swing. Being here in the cellar, where everything happens, observing the various stages of winemaking is a privilege of great importance for any winelover. Unloading of grapes, destemming, crushing and fermentation, the operations are various and challenging. Glancing over the pipes that run between a machine and the other one, we are driven by curiosity "as a fly drowning in wine, looking for...

In the last stage we drove across the area North of Bari, now is the turn of the Murgia, the most central part of the region, one of the few hills in a land dominated by plains. Today’s route starts from Castel del Monte, where our previous trip had ended and heads to Gioia del Colle. This land is home to Primitivo grapes, thanks to the work of selection that took place in late 18th century by Don Filippo Francesco Indellicati....

We recently spoke about how to cool down wine quickly. Now, let’s try to understand which is the ideal serving temperature for each wine. Temperature strongly affects the perception of edibles. Cold, in particular, prevents us from clearly evaluating all of their organoleptic characteristics, making them less scented and less tasty. This feeling is evident when we taste ice cream: as soon as we extract it from the freezer, it is way less tasty than when it starts to melt and drawing lines on our cone. Thus, we can say that serving...
