Tasting Notes
Primitivo done right from the hot heel of the boot of Italy - Puglia. It's a pretty complicated region and not too many people know much about it... I guess it hasn't really hit the spotlight in the wine world yet. Plantamura's estate is located in the Gioia del Colle DOC, which is part of the Murgia (Bari) sub-region in central Puglia. Simple, right? Of course not, it is Italy after all.
It's 100% Primitivo grown organically on limestone soils rich in fossiled shells. The fruit character is dark, showing blackberry and blackcurrent fruits, with a little cherry on top. It's a fresher style of Primitivo, due to the 350m of altitude where it's grown, which I like to see from this variety grown in hot conditions. - Chris L
Less is more! Minimal intervention or Lo-fi wines encapsulate those producers who keep additions and manipulations to a minimum during the winemaking process. This means the wines are wild fermented, unfiltered and unfined, and only add sulfur during the process.
