Masseria Borgo dei Trulli Primitivo Lucale 2022 750ml

The grapes are harvested by hand in early to mid-September. Before the harvest, at the end of August, when the grapes are already perfectly ripe, using a very special method ("Il Giro dei Picciolo"), 50% of the vines are destroyed, cutting off the further supply of nutrients, thus causing a natural throbbing in the clusters, on the stem itself . The grapes are left on the vines for another 12 days and then harvested. During this time, the grapes lose 25-30% of their weight, creating an incredible concentration of flavors and aromas. 25% of the fermented wine is aged for 8 months in barrique barrels, the other 75% "rests" in steel tanks. Before bottling, the wine matured in the two ways is "married". Its color is garnet red, its aroma is dominated by cherries, raspberries and currants. Fruitiness is also the dominant note in the taste. The wine is full-bodied, nicely balanced, with soft tannins. It has a very long aftertaste.
