Fruity, silky and refined for a wine at this price!
A warm, richly flavoured red with aromas of plums, dried fruits and sweet spices. On the palate it is generous with good concentration of ripe plum and black cherry fruit and hints of dried figs -all balanced by a silky smooth mouthfeel and fresh acidity. Easy drinking.
Produced from the local Primitivo variety cultivated in the Salento peninsula of the Puglia region, southern Italy. Grapes were sourced from selected vineyards between 20 and 60 years old and hand harvested in early September.
Fermentation took place at 28 to 30C with daily pumping over and 10 days contact with the skins. After malolactic fermentation the wine was bottled without oak aging.
The perfect partner to grilled meats, pasta dishes with meat or spicy sauces and hearty stews.
