Polvanera's Primitivo 17 Bio comes from Gioia del Colle, from the Montevella vineyard, and is made exclusively from Primitivo grapes grown on approximately 70-year-old Apulian bush vines according to organic farming principles. The deep, silty-clayey soils contribute to the wine's richness and complexity. The grapes are hand-harvested in the first half of September, followed by alcoholic fermentation and maceration in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine matures for 24 months in stainless steel and a further 12 months in bottle, developing depth and structure while preserving the authentic character of Primitivo.
Deep purple-red in colour, with elegant ruby reflections. The nose is rich and complex, offering a dense bouquet of wild berries, blackberry and plum, complemented by delicate rose aromas and subtle tea-leaf notes. Hints of liquorice, graphite and wild nuances add further depth. On the palate, it is imposing, elegant and austere, supported by polished tannins and vibrant acid-mineral freshness. The finish is exceptionally long and persistent, perfectly echoing the aromatic profile.
An important red wine, perfect for special lunches and dinners and for pairing with richly flavoured dishes. Ideal with meat ragù, roasts, braised meats, red meat, 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.
