I Muri Primitivo Puglia IGP 2024
Region: Italy, Puglia, Salento, Apulia
Grape Variety: 100% Zinfandel
Background: The vineyards are mostly situated in the communes of Manduria and Sava and are owned by growers with whom Filippo has been working for many years. Production is lower than its potential, which ensures the best quality grapes are selected. The red soils are calcerous clay and rich in iron, minerals and nutrients. 80% of the grapes come from old bush vines and the rest from trained vines that are at least 20 years old.
Winemaking Process: The grapes were gently pressed and cooled to 10ºC for a maceration period of 10-12 days with regular pumping over. Yeasts were added to start fermentation, which took place under temperature controlled conditions of up to 20 ºC. The wine was then transferred to oak barriques for a short time for fining, before bottling.
Tasting Notes: For those who love shiraz - try Primitivo - one of the most hedonistic grapes - always loaded with "berried fruits", spice, leather and vanilla. Deep ruby red colour with violet reflections. This wine has red berry fruit perfumes with a hint of spice. Full-bodied with firm tannins, this wine is well balanced with lots of ripe fruit flavours.
