Winemaking:
the vinification and aging process of Primitivo di Manduria D.O.C. must be carried out within the production area of Primitivo grapes. The wine-making technique follows the traditional method, consisting of daily checks and adjustments during the first week and every two days for the second week of fermentation. The fermentation temperature is set between 24° C and 28° C. Once completed the phase of alcoholic fermentation, peel racking and pressing may begin, while all the necessary conditions for malolactic fermentation are created. As soon as this latter process is carried out, decantation is performed twice or thrice before starting racking the wine into wood barrels for perfecting. For this, two types of wood are used: 500 litre tonneau casks and 6.000 litre large barrels. Once the wine is perfected in the wooden barrels, our oenologists select the Primitivo di Manduria D.O.C. , which is then collected,
analysed and tasted by the Chamber of Commerce of Taranto. Only after passing this very strict test, the wine will be confirmed for bottling and bottled.
Storage and ageing storage in a cool dry place is recommended, as the aging process for this important wine can last more than 5-6 years.Colour
