Tenute Girolamo Italian Wines
Puglia • Valle d'Itria • Italian Excellence
"Tenute Girolamo is the culmination of a family vision dedicated to elevating viticulture in Puglia. Wines with an ancient soul and contemporary precision that capture the majesty of southern Italy."
The Nobility of Valle d'Itria
Since its founding in the heart of the Valle d'Itria, the Girolamo family has redefined the standard of Italian wines from Puglia. This region, traditionally known for its volume, finds a niche approach in Tenute Girolamo where quality surpasses quantity. Its vineyards are located on white limestone soils, a decisive factor for the elegance of its red wines, allowing a slow maturation that preserves the natural acidity of the grape.
At La Cava Shop, we selected this winery for its technical mastery. As recognized by the authoritative guide Gambero Rosso, the wines from this area have evolved towards a sophistication that rivals the great regions of the north, thanks to impeccable wood management and respect for native grape varieties.
Star Grapes: Primitivo
Tenute Girolamo's Primitivo grape is not just about power; it's about balance. Its labels show a fruity concentration of blackberries and ripe plums, with a velvety finish that is only achieved through careful manual selection and aging in fine-grained French oak barrels.
Innovation and White Varietals
Although famous for its red wines, its white wines made with Fiano and Falanghina are a mineral revelation. These wines reflect the marine influence and calcareous geology of the territory, as documented by the portal Vini di Puglia.
Frequently Asked Questions about Tenute Girolamo
How to pair a Negroamaro or Aglianico from Girolamo?
Due to their full body and tannic structure, these wines are ideal companions for intense Mediterranean gastronomy: red meat cuts, slow-cooked stews, and aged cheeses. For an authentic experience, try them with a traditional lasagna or roasted lamb.
Is it necessary to decant these wines?
Yes, especially the reserve labels. We recommend decanting for at least 45 minutes to allow the notes of cocoa, tobacco, and spices to fully open, softening the tannins for a smoother entry on the palate.
