Borgo dei Trulli, Lucale Primitivo Appassimento 2022

Taking their name from the local dry stone dwellings with a domed roof, Borgo dei Trulli have vineyards in the best viticultural areas of Puglia. It then found an old Masseria surrounded by old vines, and decided to use this unique location to build its new State-of-the-Art winery where it can produce excellent wines from the proprietary vineyards. Lucale Primitivo Appassimento 2022 is made using 100% Primitivo. "Appassimento" is a technique whereby the stems of the grapes are twisted at optimal ripeness to stop anymore nutrients reaching the grapes, thereby semi-drying them and enhancing their flavour. The wine displays a deep violet colour, with pleasant earthy aromas of blackcurrants, vanilla and chocolate. The palate is velvety, elegant and complex; with the finish being extremely well-balanced and persistent.
