DOC Primitivo di Manduria
|
| Origin |
The Primitivo grapes are carefully selected from low-yielding vineyards in the towns of Avetrana and Manduria, in the Province of Taranto, southern Apulia. |
| Harvest |
By hand, at the end of August. |
| Vinification |
After de-stemming, the grapes are not crushed, allowing them to remain intact, reducing damage to the skins and optimizing colour extraction. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 23-25°C for 8-10 days. Frequent pump-overs and delestage are carried out during the fermentation to achieve soft extraction of aromas and gentle tannins. After racking, malolactic fermentation is induced. |
| Ageing |
Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is racked and 40% is placed in first passage French and American oak barriques for 8 months. The remaining 60% is placed in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature of 18°C. |
| Pairing |
Grilled red meat and savoury main courses. |
