Petraio's old vineyard produces a rich but low yield, which is harvested entirely by hand. Harvesting always takes place early in the morning to prevent the grapes from oxidizing during transport. Each bunch is visually inspected by hand, as only the finest bunches are ultimately used in this red wine.
The entire wine is aged for approximately 4 to 6 months in oak barrels, which gives it greater depth and richness. This is immediately evident on the nose, with lovely hints of plum and cherry complemented by vanilla, nuts, and a touch of oak. On the palate, this Petraio Primitivo is full-bodied and robust, with aromas of abundant black fruit, a hint of toffee, chocolate, and a touch of spice and vanilla. A complete glass, highly recommended!
