Description
The 'Primitivo' three-bottle case from the Vinicola Cicella winery contains the Primitivo del Salento label, vinified with pure grapes of the same name. Aged in stainless steel, it is a young, fresh and pleasant wine, ideal for convivial moments. On the palate it is balanced, soft and smooth, with an intense flavour and a persistent finish. The grapes come from vineyards located in the municipalities of Maruggio, Lizzano and Torricella, historic areas renowned for the production of wines with great structure and aromatic richness. The vines, trained using the alberello method, are harvested in the first ten days of September. After destemming, the must ferments in temperature-controlled steel tanks, remaining in contact with the skins. After 12 months of ageing in stainless steel, the wine has an intense ruby red colour with violet reflections. The nose reveals complex aromas of blackberries and plums, while the palate offers a smooth and harmonious taste. Perfect with robust first courses, red meats, game and mature cheeses, it is an authentic expression of the character and elegance of the grape varieties of southern Italy.

The Primitivo del Salento from the Vinicola Cicella winery is made from 100% Primitivo grapes: a version fermented and aged in stainless steel, more easy-drinking and meant to be enjoyed young, the perfect companion for convivial moments with friends, bringing with it the authentic taste and elegance of southern Italian vineyards.
A wine with a balanced palate, soft and smooth, that charms with rich aromas of crisp-fleshed fruit and small red berries.
The grapes are selected from several vineyards in the municipalities surrounding the winery, Maruggio, Lizzano and Torricella, lands steeped in history and winemaking tradition and particularly well suited to producing structured, fruit-rich wines.
The Primitivo vines are all bush-trained (alberello), and full ripeness is generally reached in the first ten days of September, when the harvest takes place. The bunches are processed promptly and carefully destemmed, ready for fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, during which the juice remains in contact with the skins.
The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks for 12 months. The Primitivo del Salento is a very deep ruby red with violet highlights; in the mouth it is soft and pleasant, with intense flavour and a long finish. On the nose, complex aromas dominated by blackberry and plum captivate and invite you to take a sip. Recommended with hearty pasta dishes, red meat and game, or with hard cheeses. With its easy drinkability and pleasant character, this Primitivo is a true gem of the Puglia region.
