PRIMITIVO APPASSIMENTO CARLOMAGNO 2023

Description

PUGLIA. Big, super juicy Primitivo wine which has been beefed up by some Appassimento grapes in the mix. Perfect for Bolognese. They carry out a specific technique called “ll giro Del Picciolo” This consists of twisting the stalks of the bunches so that no nourishment will reach the grapes, resulting in 25-30% loss of liquid over a period of around 12 days – in effect a drying technique which happens directly on the vines themselves. This makes it more full-bodied, soft, and long-lasting on the palate.
