Winemaking

Produced from Primitivo grapes grown in Puglia. After destemming, the grapes are gently pressed while maintaining the skins intact. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures of 23–25°C over approximately 10 days. During maceration, frequent pump-overs are carried out to extract noble compounds from the skins. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine is aged in oak before bottling.

Color and Aroma

Deep ruby red in color. Rich and opulent bouquet with intense aromas of dark fruits, cherry jam, plum, sweet spices, and subtle hints of tobacco.

Palate and Food Pairing

Full-bodied, smooth, and harmonious, with ripe fruit flavors, spice notes, soft tannins, and a well-rounded structure. An excellent match for roasts, grilled red meats, game dishes such as wild boar, baked lamb, and goat meat. Best served at 18–20°C.
