Polvanera's Primitivo 14 Bio comes from the Marchesana Vineyard in Gioia del Colle and is made exclusively from Primitivo grapes grown according to organic farming principles. The soils, characterised by iron-rich red earth over an underlying limestone layer, contribute to the wine's distinctive personality. The grapes are harvested in the second half of September, followed by alcoholic fermentation and maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for 12 months in stainless steel and a further 12 months in bottle, developing structure, softness and complexity while preserving its pleasant freshness.
Deep ruby red in colour, with elegant garnet reflections. The nose is intense and enveloping, offering aromas of plum, cherry and ripe plum, complemented by hints of thyme, tobacco and liquorice. On the palate, it is full-bodied, warm and well balanced, supported by velvety tannins and pleasant freshness. The finish is long and persistent, with a refined return of fruity and spicy notes.
An intense and versatile red wine, perfect for convivial lunches and dinners and for pairing with the rich flavours of Puglian cuisine. Ideal with pasta with ragù, grilled or roasted red meats, game and mature cheeses.
To fully appreciate its structure, elegance and complexity, this wine must be served at a service temperature of 16/18°C.
