Description
What kind of wine is it
Produced by Feudi di San Gregorio, this red wine expresses the authentic character of the Primitivo grape variety grown in Apulia. An expression of the renowned Primitivo di Manduria area, it stands out for its intense aromatic profile, featuring notes of raspberry jam and plum. In the glass, it displays a deep ruby red colour, while on the palate it is full and velvety, supported by a soft tannic structure that accompanies a warm and fruity finish, enhanced by clear hints of cinnamon.
Where does it come from
The grapes come from the Apulian territories of the Manduria area, within vineyards spread between the provinces of Brindisi and Taranto. The vine roots delve into mineral-rich red soils, also characterised by specific areas of volcanic origin. This particular soil composition gives the wine a pleasant savoury note. The area's climate is marked by significant temperature variations, a key factor that intensifies the development of aromas and brings the essence of the Apulian terroir to the glass.
How is it produced
The process begins with fermentation and maceration in stainless steel, an ideal technique for preserving the clarity of the aromas and the intensity of the colour. Maturation continues for six months in steel tanks, followed by a further period of refinement before release to the market. Its balanced structure and evident smoothness make it ideal paired with grilled red meats and braised game. It also pairs perfectly with regional cuisine and mature cheeses such as caciocavallo.
