Produced by CASA GIRELLI SPA, from 100% PRIMITIVO The grapes were de-stemmed, but not crushed. Frequent closed remontage took place in the first stage of fermentation. After 48 hours 2 delestages a day were carried out, reducing to one a day by the end of fermentation. After primary fermentation each wine was put into American oak barriques (with around 15% Eastern European). Malolactic fermentation took place in barriques. 13.5%vol Awards: IWSC 2008, Silver Best In Class; IWC 2008, Commended; Decanter 2008, Commended Dark and showing some age. Dark aroma with something baked. Very sweet indeed. Too sweet for me. 08/10/2008 |
