Designation DOC GIOIA DEL COLLE PRIMITIVO RISERVA
Vintage 2022
Grape Varieties Primitivo
Alcohol Content 15% vol.
Vinification Process: soft crushing of the grapes, vinification in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 16°C (61°F) and subsequent malolactic fermentation. Once fermentation is complete, it ages in barriques for at least 18 months and then for a few more months in stainless steel tanks. After bottling, it rests for another 6 months in the bottle
Organoleptic Characteristics: Intense ruby red color with violet reflections. The nose presents a broad aromatic profile with immediate floral aromas of violet and rosehip, and fruity notes of dried fig and black cherry jam, followed by spicy notes of licorice and white pepper, and mineral hints of graphite combined with the lovely balsamic note typical of Primitivo di Gioia. On the palate, it is opulent and elegant, with a gustatory rhythm dictated by its silky tannins and vibrant freshness, which give the wine a composed longevity over the years
