Vecchia Torre Primitivo Salento IGP 2015

PRIMITIVO Salento IGP by Cantina Vecchia Torre is a red wine that will amaze you with its power, structure, body and elegance. It is an extremely powerful wine, but with a grace and softness that you would not expect in a bottle of this price. A wine to try throughout the meal to brighten up evenings with friends or large holiday lunches.

The wine is produced with grapes from vineyards located around Leverano on alluvial, deep, medium-textured soils with areas tending towards limestone. The yield per hectare is 70-80 quintals of grapes and the vines are cultivated with the Apulian sapling training system with a planting density of 4500-5000 plants per hectare. The wine is vinified after destemming the grapes (without pressing) with the must fermenting in contact with the skins for 6-7 days at a temperature of 24-25° C. The vinification follows with a period of refinement of the wine partly in oak barriques and partly in steel. It is a wine that has an aging capacity: 3 and more years depending on the harvest.
