From a selection of “Primitivo di Gioia del Colle” grapes comes the primitivo Primordio obtained with the sun, the earth and Giorgio’s passion, in strict respect for the environment. The vines, located on limestone / clay soils, are over sixty years old. This wine is not filtered, it is not clarified, it is not barricaded and is decanted twice, before being bottled. The harvest is carried out by hand in small crates and in the cellar it ferments spontaneously with its own yeasts (indigenous yeasts). Well structured, with soft tannins, intense ruby red color tending to purple, quite pronounced varietal aromas: all elements that make Primordio a full, warm wine, with a fruity aftertaste and a delicate hint of spices.
