On the nose, it reveals a \u003cstrong\u003epowerful aroma of blackberry\u003c\/strong\u003e and small black fruits, enhanced by a \u003cstrong\u003epronounced spiciness\u003c\/strong\u003e. On the palate, it displays a medium-full body and high concentration, offering a pleasant \u003cstrong\u003evelvety texture\u003c\/strong\u003e. The sip is harmonious, supported by balanced acidity and soft tannins, making it perfect to accompany red meats, game and blue cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis red originates from the renowned area of \u003cstrong\u003eManduria\u003c\/strong\u003e, an excellent region for cultivating \u003cstrong\u003ePrimitivo\u003c\/strong\u003e, a variety named for its early ripening grapes. The vines are trained using the traditional \u003cstrong\u003ebush vine system\u003c\/strong\u003e on \u003cstrong\u003emedium-textured clay-limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e. The balance between the plant and the terroir, together with low yields, gives the wine a robust structure, a compact texture and an \u003cstrong\u003eintense fruity profile\u003c\/strong\u003e, reflecting the warmth and vocation of Apulia.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest is carried out by hand towards the end of September, with careful selection of the bunches in the vineyard. The vinification process includes a \u003cstrong\u003eseven-day maceration\u003c\/strong\u003e to optimise extraction, followed by fermentation partly with indigenous yeasts. After malolactic fermentation, which helps to smooth the wine's rough edges, the wine is aged for \u003cstrong\u003efourteen months in French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. This stage allows the development of an elegant \u003cstrong\u003earomatic complexity\u003c\/strong\u003e before bottling.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name Primitivo refers to the \u003cstrong\u003eearly ripening\u003c\/strong\u003e of these grapes, which arrived in Apulia from Dalmatia thousands of years ago and whose genetic link with Plavac Mali and Zinfandel has now been established.
