Review
"An amazing bargain... this is dense, rich, powerful stuff, its tannins stretching through the spicy, mineral-laden red fruit like runner's muscles, long and strong. Drink it now with bacon-wrapped pork loin, but make sure to stash a few bottles in the cellar, too: this should hold well for at least another five years." -Wines & Spirits

Wine maker notes
These grapes come from vineyards in different location (one on the Ionio side, the other one on the Adriatic side) that are over 25 years old and are made up of “Alberello” vines. The grapes are harvested during the first few days of September. After they are crushed and de-stemmed. The must macerates on the skins for 5-7 days at 24-26 C. During this stage, the partial raising that is characteristic of mature Primitivo grapes contributes to the formation of this wine’s notable bouquet. Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel.
