Linea Di Marco – Primitivo Gold

Primitivo Gold

Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) – Puglia

Red wine made from Primitivo grapes grown in Puglia. The vineyards are planted on sandy and calcareous-clay soils, with vines aged between 15 and 30 years, trained using a trellised system with spur-pruned cordon and a density of 4,000-4,500 vines per hectare. Vinification involves destemming and cold maceration at 10-12 °C for 18-36 hours, fermentation at a controlled temperature, racking at the end of fermentation and gentle pressing of the pomace. Following malolactic fermentation in stainless steel, the wine matures for 5 months, followed by a further 6 months in French oak tonneaux and 3 months in bottle. It displays an intense red colour with garnet reflections. On the nose, it offers notes of fruit, jam and balanced spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied, soft and persistent, with balanced tannins. Ideal with grilled red meats, Mediterranean pasta dishes with meat and cheeses. Serve at 18-20 °C.
