About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The wine is selected from production originating in southern Puglia. The vines are cultivated principally using the region’s traditional alberello training method.

Grapes

100% Primitivo.

Vinification

The wine undergoes temperature-controlled maceration and fermentation. At the end of fermentation, the must is pressed gently.

Ageing

Thirty percent of the wine matures in barriques for one year, while the remaining 70% spends the same period in stainless-steel tanks.

Tasting profile

The bouquet is intense and focused on red fruit. These fruit notes carry through onto the palate, which is rich and smooth, concluding with a balanced finish.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 16–18 °C. Pair with meat, game or aged cheeses.
