From the warmth of the Puglian hills comes this substantial Primitivo. In mid-August, when the grapes reach perfect maturity, the grapes are harvested and left to dry on straw mats in the sunshine for about 12 days thus ensuring a natural concentration of flavours. They lose about 25-30% of their weight. After destemming, the grapes are gently pressed, allowing the skin to remain intact and optimizing color extraction. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 22-25 C for 8-10 days
