Castannove Primitivo Puglia NV Magnum 1.5L (Italy)
- French oak
- Fresh fig
- Blueberry
- Rich finish
Deep ruby color with purple refelctions. At the nose the perfumes lead back to red berries such as blackberries, blueberries, plums, very ripe cherry and unmistakable notes of primary grape, mature, that give this wine the typical varietal notes of the grape.
If you are looking for a rich, structured wine then Primitivo it’s a perfect choice! Primitivo tastes of dark fruit like fresh figs, blueberries and baked blackberries. There’s a distinct dried fruit-leather character to it as well. In the Castannove brand they are trying to keep its original characteristics with a medium body unlike the traditional winemaking style which historically sees it robust and paired only to very rich dishes.
Grapes are first selected, destemmed and softly pressed. They do a short maceration for 6/10 days in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at 25°C with frequent pumping over in the early stages of fermentation. The maceration is aiming to extract soft tannins and colour while obtain a greater structure and balance. Malolactic fermentation softens and reduce acidity and can be a source of flavours such as butter, hazelnut and makes the wine more rounder and richer. A part of the wine mass matures in steel tanks and part in french and american barriques with diffrent toastiness levels. After the blending it stays in bottle for at least 4 months before release.
Food Pairing: Primitivo works well with a variety of foods. Fresh vegetables, tomatoes, and peppery olive oil are easily complemented by the ripe, big flavors of Primitivo. Puglian food showcases.
