Primitivo Salento IGT, 0.75L, 2024

Description;

The grapes used for Masso Antico Primitivo are grown in Puglia, Italy, using the vine training method known as “Alberello”, which has ancient origins and is typical of Puglia. It was developed to compensate the lack of water and the very hot climate. The now very rare Alberello system represents a very important part of the cultural and oenological heritage of Puglia. The grapes are handpicked, followed by a meticulous selection of the destemmed grapes. The grapes withering on the vines, flavoured by the sea wind, and a slow maturation in French oak barrels for about 6 months, results in an outstanding full-bodied wine with soft tannins that release vanilla notes in the finish. The wine is designated Salento IGT.

Tasting Notes;

Masso Antico Primitivo Appassite, with its ruby red colour and its complex bouquet, is characterized by intense and fine aromas, that go from mature fruit to spicy notes.

Food pairing;

It pairs perfectly with grilled meat dishes, stew and aged cheeses.
