Description
This bold and powerful red from Brindisi is made in a similar way to a Ripasso wine using a portion of dried Primitivo grapes and fermenting the wine a second time on the dried skins. The result is a soft, round and exceptionally full-bodied and aromatic wine with an amazing concentration of plum, blackberry, cherry and chocolate-raisin flavours and an appealing structure with soft tannin and acidity. In youth it has fresh, varietal aromas that become more complex with the time.
