"Artas" represents one of the winery's flagship labels, offering a sophisticated and powerful interpretation of this beloved grape variety.
Visually, it has a deep ruby red color, almost impenetrable, with violet reflections that underline its concentration. On the nose, the wine unfolds an intense and complex bouquet, dominated by notes of ripe red and black fruit, such as cherries, plums and blackberries, enriched by nuances of spices, chocolate and an elegant touch of vanilla, the result of careful aging in barrique .
In the mouth, it reveals a majestic structure, with velvety and well-integrated tannins that support a rich and full body. The balance between the powerful fruity expression, the spicy sweetness and a well-measured freshness makes the wine extremely pleasant and enveloping, with a long and persistent finish that leaves memories of ripe fruit and toasted notes.
Ideal in combination with robust and tasty dishes, such as grilled red meats, game dishes and mature cheeses, the Primitivo Salento IGT "Artas" by Castello Monaci is also an excellent meditation wine, to be appreciated slowly to grasp all its nuances.
With "Artas", Castello Monaci celebrates the strength and beauty of Primitivo di Salento, offering a wine that is at the same time a tribute to the Apulian winemaking tradition and an expression of the innovative capacity of the winery, capable of enhancing the potential of this vine in a modern and sophisticated way.
