Discover Don Antonio Primitivo I.G.P. Puglia, a wine made from 100% Primitivo grapes from vineyards in Contrada Marchione, Puglia. The area is characterized by limestone and clay hills. The vines were replanted in the 1990s in the same location where a vineyard has existed since the early 20th century. Harvest takes place in the first half of September.
The grapes undergo carbonic maceration for 7 to 8 days, followed by malolactic fermentation in 100 hectoliter Slovenian oak barrels. The wine then matures for another 6 months in the same Slovenian oak barrel, followed by at least 1 year in bottle.
The Primitivo displays a deep reddish-purple color. Its intense and persistent aroma reveals rich fruit notes, accompanied by spicy accents from the oak barrel aging. Upon sipping, the wine offers a warm and soft sensation, with beautifully balanced tannins. The wine has a medium body with ample acidity and freshness.
