Vinification of the Classici Primitivo Puglia IGT by Zonin

The vinification of the Classici Primitivo Puglia IGT is based on a careful selection of the grapes. The Primitivo grapes grow in the sunny vineyards of Apulia, where the climatic conditions are ideal for this variety. The grapes are usually hand-picked to ensure that only the best fruit is selected for processing. This guarantees that each bottle reflects the quality and character of the terroir.

After harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented in stainless steel tanks. This process takes place at controlled temperatures to preserve the freshness and aromas of the grapes. Following the alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation takes place, which gives the wine a pleasantly smooth texture. The wine then ages for several months in wooden barrels to further refine its aromatic profile. Here, scents of vanilla and roasting from the wood perfectly harmonize with the fruity notes.

The final step is bottling, where the wine is drawn into bottles to optimally preserve its qualities. The Classici Primitivo Puglia IGT is the ideal companion for social gatherings and special occasions, and improves with each vintage.
