Castel di Salve Cento su Cento Primitivo 2014 75cl

Description

Producer :	We want to focus on innovation and the highest quality. What matters to us more than our origins is what we are and how we do what we do. ” With these principles, the two young entrepreneurs Francesco Marra and Francesco Winspeare founded the Castel di Salve wine company in 1992, which comprises more than 40 hectares of family-owned vineyards. We don't want surnames or crests on the wine labels. Professionalism in wine production is very important to us. From the beginning it was clear that the wine was only produced from our own grapes. This includes autochthonous vines of high quality, which are still little known. Another basic idea: the “secret quality” of a wine, its “personality”, is its area of ​​cultivation. "The most important thing for us is to maintain freshness and fruitiness," says Francesco Winspeare, "because all too often you can find oxidized wines in our area at an early stage."
Region:	The fertile region of Puglia in the very south of Italy, practically on the heel, stretches 350km along the Adriatic coast. The Mediterranean climate and the widely suitable soils create ideal conditions for rich red wines, especially from the Negroamaro and Primitivo grape varieties.
Grape variety :	Primitivo di Manduria.
Manufacture :	Read by hand in September. The mash ferments in steel tanks for 3 weeks. The aging takes place in French oak barrels for 9 months. Then the wine rests in the steel tank for 8 months and another 7 months on the bottle before it goes on sale.
Degustationsnotiz:	Fruity, finely opulent, sweet, strong bouquet with black cherries, liquorice and tobacco. Velvety and again very lush palate with full fruit, fine tannins, strong, sweet aromas and a long creamy finish. Outrageously good!
Drinkability :	year + 7 years
Enjoy:	Dark meat and grilled sea fish with a strong taste of their own. Simply with a crispy rösti with cheese and bacon. Braised veal shanks with polenta go very well with this primitivo. A real flatterer with a large fan base. Do not serve too hot so that the flavors can develop.
