2020 Cignomoro Pepe Nero Primitivo Salento

At Cignomoro it is very consciously about the choices they make and have made. They consciously chose Puglia, consciously for the vineyards and to grow their vines there. They chose this because they believe that they can make wine here that speaks. The power of the sun, wind and sea ensure that every sip is unique. They chose the “red lands” between Manduria and Carosino. With the latest vinification techniques, without forgetting the value of a family winery, they ensure that the wines of Cignomoro can be counted among the best of Puglia.

The perfectly healthy grapes for the Cignomoro Pepe Primitivo are crushed and fermented in small vats under controlled temperatures. The soaking lasts more than a month. Maceration in stainless steel tanks and partly in barriques for 3 to 4 months. The Cignomoro Pepe Primitivo is a 100% Primitivo. This quintessential Puglia wine has a deep ruby red color in the glass. In the nose we smell notes of small red and black fruits such as currant, red cherry, raspberry and blackberry, but also aromas of cedar, herbs are clearly recognizable in the wine. A beautifully balanced wine with soft tannins and a persistent aftertaste.
