Gioia del Colle Primitivo Riserva 2022

From 8 hectares of vineyard on a medium rocky hill in the heart of the Murgia, in the countryside of Gioia del Colle, on karst, clay-limestone soil, a pure Primitivo. Spontaneous fermentation with maceration on the skins at a controlled temperature in steel, where the malolactic process naturally takes place. Light addition of sulphites for the sole purpose of replenishing the natural ones dispersed during winemaking. No clarification, stabilization or filtration. Maturation takes place for 12 months in steel and for another 12 months in 750 liter Slavonian oak barrels with the application of music therapy to optimize the spontaneous micro-oxygenation process and encourage the refinement of the wine itself; 6 months in bottle.

Intense ruby ​​red color tending towards garnet. On the nose, ripe fruit, spices and toasting, with light balsamic notes. Full-bodied and rich sip, with good minerality, freshness and flavor; black cherry and plum emerge, with notes of pepper and cocoa. Typical almond aftertaste.

Suitable for strengthening dishes with intense flavors such as pasta with ragù, it goes excellently with meat-based dishes, game, grilled fish and mature cheeses. The Reserve also creates a perfect combination with 65% cocoa chocolate desserts.
