Production
The Primitivo grapes were sourced from Vallone's Brindisi estate - from a 15ha vineyard with limestone-clay soil. The grapes are typically harvested at the end of August / start of September. Fermentation and maceration take place at controlled temperatures for 15 days, followed by spontaneous malolactic fermentation. Maturation takes place in steel and concrete tanks for around 3 months.
Tasting notes
Ripe plum and cherry aromas with hints of brown spice. The palate has lightly jammy, sweet blackberry and plum fruit balanced by fresh acidity.
Food match
Enjoy with antipasti.
