PREMIUM WINES

Description

Primitivo grapes represent the strong Apulian vocation for wine production.
Impavido comes from grapes cultivated in a low-yield soil, daily monitored, and where winemaking activities are carried out with the utmost care.
After the natura!drying on the vine, grapes are accurately selected and collected in boxes. Afterwards they are destemmed and pressed.

The must undergoes the alcoholic fermentation by maceration on skins for at least 20 days at controlled temperature. Then the wine is put into French oak barriques, where malolactic fermentation and refinement for 12 months are carried out. It has a ruby red colour and gentle violet hues are more evident with ageing; the scents of spices and berries and the full and harmonious taste are ennobled and balanced by the contact with the barriques.

Combinations
It can be combined with game, very tasty cheeses and first courses with red sauce. It is the ideai accompaniment to typical dishes of Apulian cuisine, such as “orecchiette” and “cavatelli”, enriched by vegetables such as tumip tops.
