Primitivo appassimento

PRODUCTION AREA: Puglia

GRAPES: 100% Primitivo

ALCOHOL CONTENT: 15,5% Vol. 

VINIFICATION

Grown among the rows of sunny vineyards of Puglia, this fullbodied Primitivo is obtained following the traditional Appassimento method. During ripening time of grapes, bunches undergo a “narrowing” so a gradual and natural drying can occur. Then, once right sugar content is reached, grapes are harvested and vinificated. Fermentation is stopped at 15,5% vol. alcohol: all these conditions guarantee a natural sugar content and the right balance between acidity and smoothness. Aged for at least 8 months in oak barrels, it completes its aging in the bottle for a minimum of 2 months.
