Linea Di Marco – Primitivo Puglia

Primitivo

Protected Geographical Indication (IGP)

Red wine obtained from Primitivo grapes grown in Puglia on sandy and calcareous-clay soils. The vineyards are between 15 and 30 years old and trained with a spur-pruned cordon system (4,000-4,500 vines/ha). 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 and ages a further 3 months in bottle. It has 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, soft and persistent, with balanced tannins. Ideal with grilled red meats, Mediterranean dishes with meat and cheeses. Serve at 18-20 °C.
