Primitivo Salento - Casato di Melzi

The elegant Primitivo Salento from Biscardo shimmers a bright purple red in the glass. The nose of this red wine from Puglia delights with notes of morello cherry, black cherry, blueberry and mulberry. If we explore the aromas further, we find juniper, cocoa bean and black tea.

This dry red wine from Biscardo is just the thing for wine drinkers who prefer 0.0 grams of residual sugar in their wine. The Primitivo Salento comes very close to this, as it was vinified with just 6.4 grams of residual sugar. The texture of this balanced red wine is wonderfully velvety on the palate. Thanks to its lively fruit acidity, the Primitivo Salento is impressively fresh and lively on the palate. The finish of this red wine from the wine-growing region of Apulia, more precisely from Salice Salentino DOC, is impressive with its remarkable persistence. The finish is also accompanied by mineral notes from the limestone and clay-dominated soils.

Vinification of the Biscardo Primitivo Salento

This balanced red wine from Italy is made from the Primitivo grape variety. The vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on clay and limestone soils in Apulia. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. This is followed by fermentation in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. Once fermentation is complete, the Primitivo Salento can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for a few months.
