Schola Sarmenti Primitivo Salento Cubardi IGT
6 x 75 cl, 2017Product details
Tasting Notes
This Primitivo from old vines impresses with its strong ruby red color. On the nose, it offers a bouquet of dried fruits, ripe berries, cranberry, a hint of tobacco, chocolate, and pleasantly spicy notes. On the palate, it delights with seemingly endless fruit supported by a slightly sweet start, spicy aromas of mocha, gingerbread, and a touch of eucalyptus, a velvety mouthfeel, and a long, fruit-driven finish. A full-bodied and complex Primitivo that fully expresses the concentrated grapes from the old vines.
Vinification
The grapes for this Primitivo come from an average of 65-year-old vines, all cultivated in the Alberello system. The grapes are hand-harvested and sorted again at the winery. After fermentation, the wine is aged for 6 months in French tonneaux as second fill, before maturing in the bottle for at least another 8 months.
Culinary Recommendation
Pairs well with Italian pasta dishes, grilled meats, beef, veal, lamb, and game dishes, as well as pizza and aged cheeses.
