Vigneti del Salento `I Muri` Primitivo from Salento, Puglia, Italy, is a vibrant Red still dry wine crafted from 100% Primitivo grapes. The winemaking involves destemming, gentle pressing, and a 10-day maceration, followed by temperature-controlled fermentation and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. The wine then matures in used American and French oak barriques, imparting subtle complexity. It presents intense aromas of red berry fruit, a full-bodied palate with firm tannins, and abundant ripe fruit flavours leading to a balanced finish. This versatile wine pairs beautifully with rich pasta dishes or mature cheeses.

Vinification
The grapes were destemmed and gently pressed, before being cooled for a maceration period of roughly 10 days with regular pumping over. Yeasts were added to start fermentation, which took place under temperature-controlled conditions. After fermentation, the wine was transferred to stainless steel tanks where malolactic fermentation was carried out, then racked to used American and French oak barriques for ageing.
Flavour profile
This full-bodied red wine offers intense aromas of red berry fruit, complemented by a palate rich in ripe fruit flavours and firm tannins. Ageing in American and French oak barriques adds subtle complexity, leading to a well-balanced and lingering finish.
Serving recommendation
Serve at 16-18°C, ideally decanted for an hour to enhance its rich red fruit and firm structure.
