Primitivo IGT Puglia

Country Italy
Region Puglia
Grape Variety Minimum 85% Primitivo IGT and up to a maximum 15% of other red grape varieties, the latter sourced from the corresponding Primitivo IGT provinces of Puglia.
Winemaking The wine-making technique follows the traditional method consisting of a 3 daily top ups during the first week and of one daily check and top up during the week that follows. The temperature for fermentation is set at 22° C during the first week and at 28° C during the second. Once the phase of alcoholic fermentation is concluded, the processes of skin racking and softly pressing may start. The best conditions for the onset of the malolactic fermentation are then created and when this phase is completed the wine is decanted. The bottling process starts with the month of June of the year following the harvest.
