Description

The grapes were carefully destemmed, pressed and transferred to stainless steel tanks, where alcoholic fermentation took place. This process took place over a period of 8-10 days, maintaining a controlled temperature of approximately 26°C. Malolactic fermentation was completed by the beginning of winter. Subsequently, the wine underwent a further refinement phase, initially in steel tanks for approximately 8 months and subsequently in the bottle for another 4 months.

NePriCa Primitivo has an intense ruby red color, enriched by violet reflections. On the nose, notes of red fruit emerge distinctly, such as morello cherry, dried plum and berries, accompanied by subtle floral sensations of violet and pleasant hints of liquorice. Characterized by a soft and broad entry, on the palate it is savory, structured and leaves a pleasant fruity aftertaste.
