Vinification
The grapes were destemmed, crushed, and transferred into stainless steel tanks where alcoholic fermentation took place over a period of 8–10 days at a controlled temperature that did not exceed 26 °C (79 °F). Malolactic fermentation was completed by the beginning of winter. NePriCa Primitivo was further aged in stainless steel tanks for approximately 8 months and an additional 4 months in the bottle.
Tasting Notes
It’s an intense ruby red color with violet hues. The nose offers predominant notes of red fruit, black cherries, plums, and candied oranges together with delicate impressions of dog rose and licorice. On the palate, it’s savory and well-structured followed by a pleasant fruity finish.
