Primitivo Puglia

IGP

Provenance

Selected vineyards in Puglia’s Salento Peninsula, in the Leverano area.

Grapes

100% Primitivo

Harvest

The Primitivo grapes are harvested by hand in mid September and are very carefully selected.

Winemaking

The Primitivo grapes are transported in small containers, so that, they are not crushed by their own weight, after which they are very softly destemmed, taking care to keep the skins intact. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of between 22 – 24°C, with frequent pumping over of the must in order to achieve the best colour extraction, a lovely bouquet and soft tannins in the finished wine. After the malolactic fermentation the wine is kept on its fine lees until the end of February – early March.

Tasting notes

Voluntè Primitivo is the perfect combination of local tradition and modern wine making, robust at the same time as smooth and silky. Rich in fruit, with a certain “ savoury ” feel, it has an abundance of ripe, dark berry flavours.
