Vinification of the Cantina Sampietrana Linea Centoare Primitivo Puglia

This wine clearly focuses on a single grape variety, namely Primitivo. Only flawless grape material was used for this wonderfully balanced varietal wine from Cantina Sampietrana. The grapes grow under optimal conditions in Apulia. Here the vines drive their roots deep into soils of limestone and clay. The berries for this Italian red wine are harvested particularly quickly and preferably in the morning at optimal ripeness in order to preserve their aromas. After hand-picking, the grapes are brought to the winery as quickly as possible. There they are sorted and gently crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. After fermentation, the wine matures for several months on the fine lees before it is finally bottled.
