Masseria Borgo dei Trulli Primitivo Salento 2023 (0,75 L)

VINIFICATION: After de-stemming, the grapes are not crushed, allowing them to remain intact, reducing damage to the skins and optimizing colour extraction. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 23-25°C for 8-10 days. Frequent remontage and delestage are carried out during the fermentation in order to achieve soft extraction of aromas and gentle tannins. After racking, malolactic fermentation is induced.

AGEING: Following malolactic fermentation the wine is racked and placed in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature of 18°C.

WINEMAKER’S NOTES: Intense ruby-red in colour, it displays aromas of black cherries, prunes, spice and white pepper. The mouth feel is fullbodied, velvety and elegant, with soft yet firm tannins and a long, lingering finish. Ideal with pizza, pasta with rich meat sauces. Excellent also with lamb and mature cheeses.
