Vetrère

Enrico Bruni Ammazzalorsa was happy selling bulk wine and didn’t think of doing anything else with his vineyards until his daughter Annamaria (who trained in viticulture and enology at Bologna) told him she wished to take the next step by estate bottling. And so it was that in 2002, Annamaria founded Vetrère along with her sister Francesca. Vetrère boasts 200 hectares in the area of Taranto and another 100 hectares in Bisceglie and Trani. Today Vetrère is best known as a specialist in Minutolo, an outstanding aromatic native white grape of Puglia that gives white wines vaguely reminiscent of those made with Moscato Bianco. In fact, Vetrère makes three different versions of Minutolo from five of the only 22 hectares of Minutolo currently planted worldwide. Minutolo, like many other native grapes before it, had been all but abandoned by farmers, partly because it is prone to giving very flat wines – acidity drops very quickly once the grapes approach and reach optimal ripeness. Vetrère currently makes 200,000 bottles a year. The estate will be officially certified biodynamic in 2021, although it has been practicing organic viticulture and winemaking for many years.
