Old vines, deeply rooted in the fertile soil of southern Italy, guarantee grapes of high quality and high concentration. The grapes are harvested exclusively by hand in order to select the best berries for this Appassimento. Thanks to the warm Apulian sun, the Primitivo grapes unfold their full aromatic potential and develop full ripeness. The key secret is the traditional Appassimento method, in which selected Primitivo grapes are slowly dried on straw mats for several weeks after harvest. During this phase, the grapes lose part of their water, which concentrates sugar and aromas. This provides the characteristic intensity of the wine without losing freshness. 1.
