100% Primitivo grapes from selected vineyards, harvested the first week of September, and fermented in stainless steel tanks. On the nose, it displays aromas of plums and red fruit jam. It is a full bodied wine, with notes of blackberries, ripe fruits and spices with soft tannins. This is an excellent, well- balanced wine with a long finish.

The Vineyard
Masseria Altemura Estate’s mission is to offer a new perspective on the wines from the Southern Italian Region of Apulia. Geographically, the Estate lies in the centre of Apulia, between the Ionian and the Adriatic Seas which lap the shores of the region. A unique maritime climate and abundant sunlight provide Masseria Altemura with very favourable conditions for grape growing.
