- A sumptuous, full-bodied wine offering luscious flavours of succulent prunes and rich, chocolate-dipped black cherries entwined with vibrant herbal undertones. This exquisite wine is crafted from premium vineyard plots' finest, carefully selected fruit. Meticulously hand-harvested at perfect ripeness, the grapes undergo a temperature-controlled fermentation lasting approximately 15 days at 24 to 26°C. Following this, the wine undergoes malolactic conversion in stainless steel vats before being transferred to French and American oak barrels, where it gracefully matures for 18 months, acquiring complexity and depth.

Only the best fruit from the best plots was selected to produce this wine. The grapes were hand-harvested once they had reached an advanced state of ripening. Temperature-controlled fermentation took place at 24 to 26°C and lasted for approximately 15 days. The wine underwent malolactic conversion in stainless steel vats before being racked into French and American oak barrels, where it matured for 18 months.
Deep and complex flavours of prunes, black cherry jam, spice, and tobacco deliciously weave through the full-bodied palate with its velvety texture and long, complex finish of cocoa, coffee, and vanilla bean.

Winery | The grapes come from the central area of D.O.P. "Primitivo di Manduria", grown in ancient San Marzano and Sava vineyards. They are planted at a density of 5,000 bush vines per hectare. The soil is mainly red with a fine texture and is generally calcareous with few emerging rocks. The renowned red hue of the soils is due to the presence of iron oxides. The climate is characterised by high temperatures all year round, very little rainfall and a wide diurnal temperature range, which positively influences the quality of the grapes, concentrating the flavours in the berries. The harvest takes place during the second half of September. |
