Producer

Le Vigne di Sammarco S.R.L.

Marked by its time in oak, Solemnis Primitivo has a distinct character of pencil shavings which sits alongside rich concentrated flavours of blackcurrants, cooked black fruits, blueberries and vanilla muffins. It is full bodied with a chewy finish. Primitivo grapes were picked at the end of August and beginning of September. Grapes were de-stemmed and then left to macerate on skins for 18 days. The wine was matured for six months in French Allier oak barrels.
