This red wine from Puglia is made from 100% Primitivo grapes, one of the most characteristic native grape varieties of this region. After destemming and crushing, pre-fermentation maceration takes place at a low temperature for a week. Fermentation occurs at a controlled temperature of 20-24°C for approximately 20 days. Once malolactic fermentation is complete, the wine is aged in wood for 6 months, during which time it acquires softness and complexity.
