Primitivo grapes ripen very early, which explains its name. Interestingly, just 20 days after the harvest, Primitivo vines produce new grapes, traditionally called "second harvest"; these younger bunches are used by the winemaker to increase the freshness and acidity of these bold wines, given as a result a perfectly well-balanced red wine.
TASTING NOTES: deep ruby color; pronounced bouquet of black berries, mainly cassis and black currant, with notes of licorice and coconut; full-bodied and balanced, with velvety tannins and a perfect acidity; lingering finish of forest fruits and spices jam.

Castello Monaci
2021
Coribante is an intriguing wine due to the unexpected union of the aromas and character of two red grape varieties: Syrah from which it takes the scents and aromas of a fresh wine, and dried Malvasia Nera di Lecce, aged in barrique from which it takes the fullness and the body of a mature wine. The name of the wine is inspired by the lively character of the Corybantes, dancers who, to the rhythm of the tambourine, unleashed frenetic dances and pulsating music, capable of transmitting heat and energy in an unparalleled harmony.

Aglianico is one of the oldest grape variety in the world, being introduced in Southern Italy by the Ancient Greeks about 3.000 years ago in what they called Enotria or Land of Wine. Today, its qualities are well recognized; for its elegance, ageing potential and complexity of its wines, it has been called “the Nebbiolo of Southern Italy”. The Cappellaccio Aglianico Riserva takes its name from the
thin and hard calcareous crust that is found at around 50 cm under the limestone soils of the Castel del Monte doc area and that has to be broken in order to allow vines to be planted. Cappellaccio Aglianico Riserva is a wine that fully expresses the outstanding characteristics of Aglianico.

l'Archetipo
Winemaking: after destemming and soft crushing grapes, must fer-ments spontaneously thanks to a pied de cuve of native yeasts, the only ones which increase the expression of our Terroir.

Natural fining and stabilization, no fining agents added.No filtration.
Ageing of wine on lees: 6 months in steel tanks, 2-3 months in large wooden barrels and at least 3 months in bottle. Malolactic fermen-tation takes place during aging. Very low amount of sulphur dioxide added before bottling.
Organoleptic properties: ruby red colour; fruity nose (black cherry and plum), with final cloves aroma. Medium body, smooth and ba-lanced, quite tannic, fine and elegant. An authentic Negroamaro!
