Salento IGP Primitivo Saracena 2022 Masseria Borgo dei Trulli

Saracena by Borgo dei Trulli red wine is made from Primitivo grapes and is born in vineyards located in the municipality of Maruggio in the locality of Saracena, in the province of Taranto.

The grapes are harvested by hand in early-mid-September, and then placed in a drying room to dry at a controlled temperature. They are then de-stemmed and vinified as a whole grape. Alcoholic fermentation takes place in thermo-regulated steel tanks and lasts for 8–10 days. Malolactic fermentation is then induced, followed by ageing in French oak barrels for 10 months.

Intense ruby red colour, the nose reveals aromas of plum, dehydrated fruit, spices, white pepper and chocolate. The sip is round and powerful, with a well-balanced and persistent finish.

Perfect with roast duck, red meats and aged cheeses.
