Belonging to the regional Typical Geographical Indication (IGT), it presents itself as a full-bodied and generous wine, characterised by an intense aromatic profile where notes of wild berries, dried figs and spicy nuances stand out. The structure is opulent and enveloping, supported by \u003cstrong\u003evelvety tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e that harmoniously balance the natural smoothness of the sip. The rigorous oenological techniques adopted, including maturation in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, define the elegant, complex and deeply territory-rooted character of this still red wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes ripen in the heart of \u003cstrong\u003eSalento\u003c\/strong\u003e, specifically in the vineyards located between the municipalities of Sava and Turi, covering the viticultural areas that stretch between the provinces of Taranto and Brindisi. The vines grow on highly suitable soils, characterised by a rich presence of \u003cstrong\u003eiron oxides\u003c\/strong\u003e resting on a solid matrix of limestone rock that sometimes surfaces. This specific soil composition gives the wine a peculiar mineral imprint and promotes an optimal concentration of sugars in the clusters during ripening. The geological nature provides an unmistakable identity, making the geographical area a true historical \u003cstrong\u003eviticultural reference point\u003c\/strong\u003e of Southern Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with careful processing of the grapes, followed by a vinification that involves a \u003cstrong\u003evigorous extraction of the fruit\u003c\/strong\u003e to give the must its typical ruby colour and the necessary structure. Subsequently, the wine matures in \u003cstrong\u003emedium-toast barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for a few months, an essential step to integrate the scents of vanilla and liquorice and round off the taste profile. At the end of the refinement, the wine develops elegant notes of coffee and cocoa, making it ideal to accompany braised meats, \u003cstrong\u003ematured cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e served with honey or even to enhance dark chocolate at the end of a meal.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIl Prete Brigante represents the fruit of the deep bond with the Apulian territory and embodies all the true, authentic strength of \u003cstrong\u003eSalento\u003c\/strong\u003e. This historic wine is born from the dedication of many expert winegrowers who cultivate these ancient grapes with absolute and great care between Sava and Turi. The entire production approach is deeply rooted in the typical \u003cstrong\u003eidentity of the South\u003c\/strong\u003e, fully honouring the true local agricultural vocation. The \u003cstrong\u003eD'Addario family\u003c\/strong\u003e signs an extraordinary label capable of expressing the purest soul of the region with the utmost dedication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"D'Addario","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48329696215211,"sku":"63003","price":12.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/d-addario-primitivo-puglia-prete-brigante-2023_63003_1_a912e948-d2ac-4450-a8f5-b6bbc59de166.webp?v=1792949149","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-uk\/products\/daddario-primitivo-puglia-prete-brigante-2023","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
