2018 Gianfranco Fino Es Jeroboam (3 liter)

Discover the exclusive Gianfranco Es, an icon among Primitivo wines, sourced from a carefully managed micro-production of just 7,000 bottles annually. This is the result of an extremely low yield, with an average of only 200 grams of grapes per vine harvested from a 50-year-old vineyard. Rigorous pruning techniques leave only a few bunches per vine, allowing each grape to benefit from the maximum nutrition drawn from the ancient roots by the deep, nutrient-rich soil. The biodynamic principles employed during cultivation emphasize the commitment to sustainability and quality.

At the winery, the carefully selected grapes undergo a gentle pressing, followed by fermentation and maceration in 600-liter oak barrels at a temperature between 23-25°C. After initial processing, the wine is aged for approximately 10 months in new French oak, adding complexity and structure. The wine is bottled without fining or filtration and then aged in the bottle for a minimum of 6 months before release.

The Gianfranco Es presents a deep concentration of flavors with an incredibly fresh, perfectly balanced acidity. This makes it not only the finest high-end Primitivo on the market, but also a wine of unparalleled depth and complexity, highly prized by connoisseurs and critics alike. Every aspect of this wine, from vineyard to glass, testifies to the art of winemaking and the passion for quality that characterizes Gianfranco Fino. This is a must-have for collectors and a true experience for any lover of exceptional Italian wines.
