    Vigneti Reale

    The Reale family has been involved in the world of wine since the beginning of the last century, when vines first began to be cultivated in Cellino San Marco. Their wine or grapes were initially sold through third parties. After the war, the idea of dedicating themselves more to the wine sector took shape, following the typical vocation of the territory, that is a production aimed at the quantity and sale of bulk or bottled wine. The biggest buyers were for decades Tuscan and French traders looking for a way to strengthen their wine, which is lacking in body and alcohol content both of which are abundant in the vineyards of southern Italy. Recent history is all about the gradual realisation of the great qualitative and commercial potential of Salento viticulture. At the turn of the twenty-first century the new project of the Reale Vineyards began to take shape: to produce wine from only the best vineyards of the company, concentrating on achieving the highest standards both on the plant and in the cellar, placing quality before mere quantity. The company logo is a further link with tradition: it depicts the family villa, dating back to the early twentieth century, surrounded by a renowned Italian garden.

    Production


    The Azienda Agricola Reale extends over a plain of 250 hectares where the thermal excursion is guaranteed by the fresh sea winds that, overnight, pass over the Salento peninsula. The form of vine training is of the "espalier" type, with between 4,700 and 5,300 plants per hectare, depending on the variety. This permits the quantity of bunches per vine to be limited, reaching a production per hectare of between 8,000 and 10,000 kg. The grafts are carefully selected, based on the characteristics of the soil and their affinity with the plants. They are not very vigorous, so they do not overexpose the luxuriance of the plant and prevent it from over-developing, thus allowing the quality of the grapes produced to be kept very high. The company soil is classified as reddish-sandy loam, originating in the upper quaternary, medium-high permeability, slightly or moderately calcareous, with a sub alkaline pH of between 7 and 8.50 (mean 7.75).

    Products


    The grape varieties in the company catalogue are Negroamaro, Primitivo, Chardonnay, Malvasia Bianca and Nera, as well as some international vines that have not yet entered production. A hundred hectares of farms, moreover, are cultivated as olive groves, producing an excellent extra virgin olive oil.
    Synonymous with genuineness is the proximity of the winery to the farm; in fact, they are a few hundred metres from each other. Moreover, being at the forefront is one of the main characteristics of the winery, which is equipped with all that modern technology makes available to produce modern and elegant wines, especially in the control of low temperatures in all phases of vinification. The Bariccaia, a cellar area dedicated to barrels for the refinement of the Gloria and the Santa Croce labels, is located in the subsoil for a perfect thermal setting.
