The harvest from this technique is fuller and more powerful, and this, combined with the age and location of the vineyard, makes it a success. The plants are located near the ocean and therefore receive plenty of cooling, which explains the name of this wine, \"Campo Marino.\" When the Primitivo grapes are ripe, they are harvested entirely by hand and individually inspected.
