Primitivo Salento IGT 2019 - Masseria Ficarigna

This Salento Primitivo from Masseria Ficarigna is an example of the qualitative excellence produced in the Salento region, of which the cellar is an ambassador. The name Ficarigna is the Salento translation of the prickly pear fruit which, together with the gecko, depicted on the label, are elements that symbolize Salento in the collective imagination.After the manual harvest of the grapes harvested when fully ripe, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature. The wine ages for 12 months in barriques before being bottled.In the glass it has a deep ruby red color with purplish nuances. The nose recalls toasted and coffee sensations that form the background for hints of red berry fruit. On the palate it shows warmth and a round, enveloping and balanced taste.It is recommended together with game and aged cheeses. Try it in combination with chestnuts.
