ARTAS Primitivo Salento IGT – Castello Monaci

For the first meeting in the glass with Artas one must resort to musical time: broad, solemn, sustained. A symphony of flavors and sensations that have made Primitivo very famous in the world. This Artas, where you can feel the “fruit”, from an “ancient” grape always preponderant over the rest.

ORIGIN: Salice Salentino

VINIFICATION AND AGING
The grapes were harvested by hand in the early hours of the morning, in the warm and sunny vineyards around the Castello Monaci winery. In the cellar, the freshly pressed product is immediately cooled and kept cold for a few days in order to preserve all the intrinsic characteristics of the primitivo. The vinification, with a maceration of about 15 days, is characterized by a skilful use of frequent but non-invasive pumping over and a skilful use of temperature games: all of this gives the wine an elegant and at the same time modern structure. The product, after malolactic fermentation, remained to mature for about 6 months in small oak barrels and 6 months in large barrels. Then follows a further 6 months refinement in glass.

ALLERGENS: Contains sulphites

TASTING: Artas has a bright and intense ruby ​​red color; well pronounced, complex and ethereal aroma, with marked hints of wild berries in perfect harmony with sweet balsamic notes and roasted coffee aroma. The flavor is full, warm, soft, very enveloping, with sweet and elegant tannins. It closes with a pleasant background of red fruit.
