About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The Primitivo grapes are grown in Manduria, where the vineyards have a favourable climate and fertile soils.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested by hand at full ripeness, after which the best berries are selected. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature to retain their aromas.

Ageing

The wine matures in oak barrels, which add complexity and depth.

Tasting profile

The nose is intense, with berries and spices. The palate is rich, harmonious and balanced, leading to a long finish.
