Primitivo Salento CUNTAMÈ DUE PALME

This Salento red wine from the Due Palme winery in Puglia is made from 100% Primitivo grapes grown on calcareous clay-loam soils with a good amount of gravel. The grapes are harvested manually into crates, then vinified in temperature-controlled steel tanks: this process involves soft pressing and subsequent ageing in steel and finally in the bottle.
