A show stopping, sensational Primitivo!
Lightly spicy aromas of black cherry and vanilla. Red berry fruit on the palate with soft, velvety tannins and good length.
The Felline winery is in Manduria, Puglia, around 10km from the coast above the Gulf of Taranto. It was founded by Gregory Perrucci in 1992, the 3rd generation of a wine family, born and raised in Manduria. He has dedicated his life to one of the classic varieties of the region - the Primitivo grape - perfectly suited to the sunny, dry climate.The winery has 120 hectares of vineyard across carefully selected plots and with soils ranging from sand, loam, tuff and clay on a base of limestone rock. Grapes sourced from these different soil types are vinified separately to harness their individual characteristics. His aim is to produce ‘real' wines inspired by the traditions of the region. Agricola Felline are investing in sustainable practices, planning to install solar panels and minimise their water usage. They hope to achieve the Equalitas sustainability certification with time.They have been cultivating around 80 hectares of their vineyard organically for 20 years. Their Giravolta vineyard, and the wine Giravolta Primitivo di Manduria, are both certified Organic.
Sourced from Primitivo vines grown in white, chalky soils. This is good for drainage, whilst maintaining moisture in the ground.
The grapes are harvested in mid-September, fermented, and the wine is refined in French oak barriques for 9 months. This wine is certified Organic.
Enjoy with traditional Ragł alla Pugliese - made with chicken, beef, pancetta and pork sausage.
