Primitivo di Manduria Riserva Zolla FANTINI

From the vineyards of Sava and Manduria comes this red wine Riserva Primitivo di Manduria Zolla. After manual harvesting of the bunches, this is followed by destemming and soft pressing of the partially overripe harvested grapes. Maceration takes place at a controlled temperature of 24-25°C for approximately 14 days, followed by racking and malolactic fermentation in steel. The final aging stage takes place in French and American oak barrels for 12 months and then in concrete for another 12 months.
