Botromagno

Brand Description

In 1991, the D’Agostino family merged with the local cooperative winery, creating Botromagno, the first successful example of a privately owned winery partnered with more than 100 local grape growers. The D’Agostino family has been able to foster a reliable and efficient synergy with the local farmers; based on strict standards for quality grape growing, they have rapidly become one of the finest wineries in Puglia.

Location of Vineyard

The winery is located in the town of Gravina in Puglia. The Gravina DOC, which is named after the town, is one of Puglia’s most important appellations.

Winemaking Philosophy

The D’Agostinos have been the only ones to invest in the Gravina DOC, recovering the production of this white wine and rebuilding its reputation as an elegant and versatile wine. Today they are the only producers of the flavorful and refreshing Gravina, which is considered by many to be one of the most exciting whites from Southern Italy.

Dark chocolate, charred wood, cloves and sultanas perfume the nose. Smoky, savoury cherries and cranberries flavour the grippy, structured palate.

Rich and sticky, with a heady beeswax and roast nut nose. Honeydew melon and pretty notes of ginger and nutmeg.

“The estate's 2005 Passito di Malvasia Gravisano offers up candied orange peel, sweet spices and dried flowers in a mid-weight, slightly oxidative style that recalls Vin Santo. Truffles, spice cake and exotic Malvasia fruit wrap round the finish. The Gravisano is a modestly sweet dessert wine with 140 grams per liter of residual sugar.”
— acclaim for 2006 Botromagno Gravisano from Wine Advocate, Jun 2011
