Profile : DICIOTTO Primitivo by Schola Sarmenti winery is an exclusive, precious, limited-edition red wine. A wine produced from 80-year-old vines bred with the traditional and ancient method of the Apulian sapling. 80 years of history that flow in the sap of the oldest plants of the Schola Sarmenti vineyards. From a patient green pruning that limits its production in the name of an absolute quality, this Primitivo is born. DICIOTTO is a valiant expression of precious land and fruit of skilful, loving and loving hands.The grapes are hand-picked and gently placed in small ventilated boxes to preserve their integrity. Subsequently, in the cellar, they undergo a further selection on a modern sorting table. Then we move on to controlled temperature vinification. This is followed by aging where the wine ages for 14 months in new French oak tonneaux, medium toasting. Finally, 10 months of further aging in the bottle.

Tasting Notes: Rich aromas from the Primitivo grapes lead you into this irresistible wine and elegant draws you into its orbit, a lovely wine with plenty going on. The nose is rich and heady, with notes of cherry, dark chocolate and Raspberry. The palate is full and long-lasting. There's lots of wild berry flavours, black cherry and a rounded mouthfeel. The tannins are well integrated and the finish lingers with lots of fruits and spices.
