Primitivo Salento Igp In Bag In Box 10 Liters

PRIMITIVO SALENTO IGP 

THE PRIMITIVE VARIETY OWES ITS NAME TO THE EARLY RIPENING OF THE GRAPES, WHICH SOMETIMES STARTS ALREADY AT THE END OF AUGUST. VERY WELL ADAPTED TO THE SALENTO CLIMATE, THE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE PRIMITIVE ARE A CONSEQUENCE OF THE STRONG SOLAR IRRADIATION CONTRASTED BY THE CLEAR THERMAL CHANGES BETWEEN DAY AND NIGHT THAT OCCUR IN THIS TERRITORY. THEREFORE YOU OBTAIN A FULL-BODIED BUT FRESH WINE, VERY FRUITY AND WITH A SOFT AND ENVELOPING TASTE.
