About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from Puglia, where Primitivo has been grown for generations.

Vinification

The fully ripe grapes are harvested by hand. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The wine then stays in the tanks to mature on its fine lees.

Ageing

After its time on the fine lees in stainless steel, the wine is aged with care in large oak barrels.

Tasting profile

Deep in colour and complex, with a full-bodied structure. Maturation gives it impressive depth.
