l'Archetipo
2014
 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. After 8 mon-ths of maceration with the skins, at the end of alcoholic and malo-lactic fermentation, wine is soft pressed in order to separate it from grape skins. Natural fining and stabilization, no fining agents added. No filtration.
Ageing of wine on lees: 18 months in steel tank, then 24 months in large wooden barrel, and at least 8 months in bottle. Very low amount of sulphur dioxide added before bottling.
Organoleptic properties: consistent ruby red colour, fruity, spicy and toasty aromas. The taste has a vigorous body, soft and quite tannic, balanced, persistent and raisiny.
Food pairing: red meat main courses, cold cuts, sausages and se-mi-hard cheeses.
Serving temperature: 16-18 °C. Decant wine before drinking it.

 Vino D.O.C. G. Primitivo di Manduria Dolce Naturale
La Dolce Vite è un vino dal colore rubino intenso con riflessi granati. Austero ed ampio nei sentori di frutta matura a bacca rossa, con lievi note mielate e speziate.
Avvolgente, vellutato, con una delicata percezione tannica ed una equilibrata acidità. L’espressione piena ed opulenta evoca ricordi di fichi secchi e frutta tostata.
Classico vino da meditazione.
Stempera e mitiga il salato dei formaggi di lunga stagionatura ed esalta le note piccanti di quelli erborinati.
Trova un armonioso connubio con la pasticceria secca e costruisce un forte legame con il cioccolato finissimo.

 Vino D.O.C. Primitivo di Manduria
Chiodi di Garofano è un vino dal color rosso rubino intenso con riflessi violacei.
Il profumo è fruttato, ampio e complesso. Si percepiscono sentori di frutti di bosco, prugna e fichi secchi ingentiliti da delicati accenni di spezie dolci e marzapane.
Al palato conquista con un buon tannino supportato da un’importante concentrazione alcolica. Vino robusto, di buona complessità, esprime i caratteri più autentici del vitigno.
La sua imponenza suggerisce abbinamenti con primi piatti strutturati, arrosti, brasati e formaggi di media-lunga stagionatura.
