  • Uva Longanesi emerges as one of Italy’s more recently unearthed grape varieties, stepping into the spotlight as late as 1933. Interestingly, this grape variety also answers to the name Burson, a moniker affectionately associated with the Longanesi family, to whom recognition is owed for nurturing and preserving the legacy of Uva Longanesi, allowing us to savor its wines today.

  • While the origins of Uva Longanesi remain a subject of speculation, with some experts positing a potential Spanish lineage, its journey from obscurity to prominence adds another layer of intrigue to its story.

This wine consistently presents itself as robust, full-bodied, and assertive, akin to the boldness of a Barbera or Aglianico, yet it possesses an added layer of gravitas and weight. Its formidable tannic structure demands patience, as these robust tannins soften gradually over time, requiring ample cellar aging to reach their full potential. Nevertheless, amidst its firm grip, the wine unveils intense aromas and flavors of black cherry and plum, offering a captivating sensory experience that evolves with each sip.
