Lungattesa, Nero di Troia, Puglia IGT 2023
Lungattesa, in the image of an elderly man and a little girl walking among the rows of vines, the soul of this wine is reflected: the invisible bridge that connects past and future. It is the story of a father who dedicated his life to the vineyard and of a daughter who, as an adult, discovers within herself the same passion, now passing it on to a new generation. The elderly man holds the little girl’s hand, guiding her through the telling of a story that is still unwritten, yet already filled with emotion. The name ‘Lungattesa’ conveys the slow rhythm of nature. Nero di Troia is a late-growing grape, which demands patience, attention, and respect for its timing. Waiting for its ripening is a gesture of love and trust—a lesson learned yearly by those who cultivate the land: the strength of resilience is born from knowing how to wait. In that suspended moment among the vines, the wisdom of the elder meets the wonder of the child. It is there that ancient values are handed down: family as a root, dreams as a horizon, ideals as a guide. Thus, ‘Lungattesa’ becomes a wine that not only preserves the fruit of labor, but celebrates the art of patience, respect for nature, and the love that binds generations.
