Bright ruby with purple tinges; fragrant perfume with hints of cherry and other red fruits; soft tannins and medium body, good acidity and medium finish of red fruits.

Primitivo is an ancient grape variety in Puglia; its grapes ripen very early, sometimes even in August. Perfectly adapted to Salento’s climate, dry with high diurnal range and frequent breezes from the sea, Primitivo grapes give bold, well-structured wines, with fruity flavors, good acidity and smooth tannins.

Manual harvest, usually at the end of August, carried out in the early hours of dawn to avoid higher temperatures, which could reduce freshness and aromatic city in wines.

The grapes are destemmed and fermented at a controlled temperature of 22-24 °C for 8-10 days, during which daily pumping over takes place, and followed by malolactic fermentation.

Aged for 5 months in stainless steel tanks and 1 month in bottle.

Goes great with cured meats and aged cheeses; dishes based on red meats and roast, poultry, well-seasoned red sauces.
