Deep ruby red. On the nose, clear and persistent sensations of the juicy fruitiness of the grape variety, with aromas of red plum, mulberry, pink pepper and intriguing hints of sandalwood. Dry and rigorous in the mouth, it is truly pleasing and never tiring.
The name of this wine recalls the Greek word oros which means “border” and also indicates the ancient road near Masseria Li Veli which divided the Byzantine properties from those of the Lombards, called “Limite dei Greci”.
The Li Veli plot, like the Masseria, owes its name to the historical district of which it is part and this is where the best grapes of the estate grow. Unique in the entire area, these soils combine a perfect balance between sand, loam and clay. An exceptional mixture allowing the vine to reach the perfect balance of growth and production which confers great elegance, minerality and freshness to the wines made from these grapes.
