Wine description
The "Critera" comes from Primitivo grapes grown as saplings in Nardò, in the province of Lecce. The grapes are harvested by hand and gently stored in small aerated boxes to preserve their integrity. In the cellar they are then further selected on a modern sorting table. Vinification and aging takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature.
Characteristics of this red wine
The wine has an intense ruby red color; in the mouth there are fruity aromas of prune and cherry jam with fresh and lively tannins.
Suggested pairings while tasting Primitivo Salento "Critera"
Excellent with stewed red meats, game and medium-ripened cheeses. Serve at a temperature of 16ºC in a fairly large glass.
