Primanero

Produced from an intriguing blend of Corvina, Merlot and Raboso grapes, grown in low-yielding vineyards near the town of San Pietro in Cariano in the province of Verona. A portion of the grapes go through a rare winemaking technique called APPASSIMENTO, where by the picked grapes are placed in small wooden crates of 5 kg each. The crates are then placed in the “fruttaio,” a well-aerated loft, and are left there to dry at a control temperature and humidity until December.

During this “appassimento” the grapes will lose up to 50% of their original weight in water.
This “drying process” will concentrate their color, substance and aromas.
Primanero has a beautiful and intense ruby-red color with an intense bouquet of ripe blackcurrant, red cherry, dried apricot, hazelnut and chocolate. On the palate it is full-bodied, soft, round and powerful with a long and lingering finish
