“Capocollo Ubriaco” (Traditional Apulian pork neck, refined in wine pomace)

Description

Capocollo Ubriaco – a masterpiece of nature, matured in Negroamaro pomace

The Capocollo Ubriaco (“drunken pork neck”) is the result of visionary craftsmanship that completely replaces chemical antioxidants with the wine’s natural polyphenols. Refined in the fine pomace of the Negroamaro grape, this product becomes a true rarity. During the 100-day maturation, the wine pomace envelops the meat and lends it exceptional depth and complexity. As soon as it is sliced, the slightly violet nuances typical of this refinement appear in the meat. On the palate, a perfect balance unfolds between delicate sweetness and elegant spiciness (sapidity), underlined by fruity hints and deep, mature notes.

This culinary excellence was awarded the top rating of 5 Spilli (5 needles) in the renowned Italian cured-meat guide Guida Salumi de L’Espresso – proud testimony to the successful interplay of homeland, research and pure craft tradition.
