Description
What type of wine it is
The Primitivo Casale Ciliani by D'Addario is a Puglian red wine that falls under the Salento designation. This still red blend is produced from Primitivo and Malvasia Nera grapes, which are capable of precisely expressing the character of the region. On the palate, it is structured and harmonious, characterised by intense aromas of blackberry, black cherry and plum that lead into a persistent finish with notes of almond-stuffed fig. The use of stainless steel tanks for maturation enhances the varietal clarity and keeps the freshness of the fruit intact.
Where it comes from
The roots of this wine lie in the heart of the Salento territory, in a wine-growing area situated between the provinces of Brindisi and Taranto, in Puglia. The vineyards thrive on poor calcareous soils characterised by a strong and distinct clay component. This specific agronomic composition proves fundamental for the development of the vines, as it gives the fruit significant chromatic depth and contributes to building the wine's solid taste structure. The pedoclimatic environment of the area ensures optimal ripening of the grapes.
How it is produced
The vinification process begins with careful processing of the grapes aimed at preserving the original fragrance of the harvest. After the fermentation phase, the wine undergoes targeted refinement in stainless steel, which defines its technical style. This specific production choice is essential for protecting the aromatic profile from any external interference, keeping the purity of the fruit unaltered. The absence of wood ageing allows for the maximum enhancement of varietal clarity, resulting in a product with a strong regional expression.
History and Curiosities
Casale Ciliani was born from the passion of the D'Addario family, driven by a strong desire to express the most authentic soul of Puglia. This fascinating wine is rooted in Salento, specifically in the area between the provinces of Brindisi and Taranto. The winery benefits from the valuable collaboration of expert local oenologists from the municipalities of Sava and Turi. This winning synergy makes it possible to offer a modern and refined interpretation of the prestigious local winemaking tradition, awarded 95 points by Luca Maroni.
