Vigneti del Salento `Zolla` from Puglia, Italy, is a vibrant Red still dry wine crafted exclusively from Primitivo grapes, reflecting the rich, ripe flavours of the region. The vinification process involves fermentation in stainless steel, followed by six to eight months in second and third use oak barriques, which imparts a subtle complexity. It presents intense aromas of red cherries, blackberries, spice, and leather, which carry through to a rich, velvety palate with generous tannins and great length. This expressive wine, showcasing the unique character of its Salento terroir, is a superb accompaniment to robust dishes such as roasted meats or mature cheeses.
75.0CL , 15.0% ABV
Vinification
The grapes were gently pressed and cooled to 10ºC for a maceration period of 8-10 days, with regular pumping over. Yeasts were added to start alcoholic and malolactic fermentation in stainless-steel tanks, which took place at controlled temperatures. The wine was then transferred to second and third use oak barriques for six to eight months before bottling.
