Primitivo "Lucarelli" 2010

Primitivo “Lucarelli” 2010

Terre di Sava was established in 2008, and continued to build upon an already incredible tradition of viticulture and wine production. The cooperative was purchased by a group of wine lovers who joined forces to rescue a treasured winery from financial difficulties. The investors knew the potential of this unique land and were able to capitalise on the best aspects of the terroir, climate and unfaltering human endeavour to produce wonderful wines. The village of Sava is at the centre of the Primitivo di Manduria DOC, an area renowned for the production of exceptional fruit driven reds made from the indigenous Primitivo grape. The company also produces wines from Negroamaro, Malvasia Nera and Malvasia Bianca. Their aim is to produce high quality wines typical of the region to be experienced and enjoyed by connoisseurs throughout the world.

Grapes:    100% Primitivo grapes

Vinification:    The grapes were de-stalked, crushed and fermented at 21-24C in stainless steel tanks. The wine went through malolactic fermentation and was left to rest in tanks until bottled.
