The Primitivo and Susumaniello grapes used in this wine come from vineyards located in Salento. After the grapes are destemmed, they are gently pressed while keeping the skins intact. The fermentation process takes place at a controlled temperature of 25-28°C for a period of 10 days. During the maceration process, the skins are frequently pumped over to extract the noble compounds. After the malolactic fermentation, the blended wine ages in oak before being racked. The wine has a deep ruby red colour and an ample and opulent aroma with intense scents of blackberry jam, wild fruit, hints of cocoa, and licorice. It is full-bodied with velvety tannins and a big texture, and has a very long finish. It pairs perfectly with grilled red meats, as well as game, such as braised wild boar or baked lamb.
