Comments:	Made with Primitivo grapes from 10 to 30 years old vines cultivated 'a spalliera' (shoulder-style) on mostly clay soil. After maceration in temperature-controlled glass-coated cement vats until the sugar content is below 15-30 gram-per-liter at the fermentation temperature of 27°-30°C (80.6°-86°F,) the wine is left to rest partly in iron and partly in cement vats and recombined before bottling. The wine has red color with purplish highlights, has intense, characteristic perfume and pairs naturally with Mediterranean recipes.
