The Minutolo that becomes Amore Protetto and elevates itself to Metodo Classico
Amore Protetto is a tribute uniting art and territory, born from the celebrated work of the Altamura-born maestro Saverio Mercadante, “Elisa e Claudio, ossia l’Amore Protetto dell’Amicizia,” staged at Teatro alla Scala in the autumn of 1821. In 2015, the year the Grande Teatro Mercadante of Altamura reopened, the journey of this wine also began. For 48 months, Amore Protetto rests, kept in the silence of a niche carved into the tufa, protected by time and in contact with its yeasts. Only then does it reveal itself in the glass: elegant, fragrant, with all the aromatic character of Minutolo and the finesse that only a Metodo Classico can offer.

Full straw yellow color; after the first 2 or 3 years in the bottle, light golden hues become visible.

Intense nose, wide bouquet, opening with an array of aromatic herbs, sage and rosemary above all, followed by hints of citrus and touches of white-fleshed fruit.
Medium-bodied on the palate, an added value in terms of drinkability, excellent persistence and remarkable coherence with the nose.
The finish is elegant, supported by good acidity.
