Vinification of Nudo Primitivo Salento IGP by Cantine San Marzano

The quality of the Nudo Primitivo Salento IGP begins in the vineyard. The grapes grow in the Salento region, known for its warm Mediterranean influence and limestone soils, which create ideal conditions. The vines are cultivated following sustainable farming principles. This ensures that only the best grapes are harvested. The picking is done by hand to preserve the integrity of the berries.

After the harvest, the grapes are destemmed and lightly pressed. Vinification takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. This method ensures that the fruity aromas are preserved as best as possible. Fermentation lasts about 10 to 15 days, followed by a malolactic fermentation that gives the wine a velvety structure.

The aging of the Nudo Primitivo then occurs in French barriques, where it matures for several months. This gives the wine the perfect balance between fruit and the spice of the oak. Thus, a remarkable Primitivo is created that delights both newcomers and connoisseurs.
