Vinification of the Solone Primitivo Salento in GP by Lorusso Michele

This red wine clearly focuses on one grape variety, namely Primitivo. Only the best grapes were brought in for this exceptionally powerful single-varietal wine from Lorusso Michele. After the harvest, the grapes are quickly taken to the press house. Here they are sorted and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in large oak barrels at controlled temperatures. Vinification is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
