Comments:	Dessert wine made with Primitivo grapes from 30 to 50 years old vines cultivated in sandy soil using the alberello pugliese (little Apulian tree) method. After maceration in temperature-controlled glass-coated cement vats until the sugar content is below 80-100 grams per liter at the fermentation temperature of 27°-30°C (80.6°-86°F,) the wine is stored partly in French and American oak barriques, partly in glass coated cement vats, and partly in iron vats, and combined before bottling. Intense red in color, the wine has strawberry and wild berry perfume. Pairs well with cheese platters and other end-of-meal offerings.
