THE STAR WINES OF ‘GAMBERO ROSSO’ AND AT THE ‘CHINA WINE & SPIRITS AWARD’
SENATORE, DOC PRIMITIVO FROM GIOIA DEL COLLE – From the alcoholic fermentation on the skins Coppi gets the extraction of all the valuable substances contained in them: from fruity polyphenols all the way up to the tannins. Refinement is unhurried in 50 hl barrels of Slovenian oaks, preferably for a period of about 12 months. All this meticulous care, which begins in the vineyard with the harvest of grapes hand picked into individual crates, which creates the first form of the tasting pleasure. In the glass it is an intense red color with purple hues and evolves over time. The nose is quite intense and persistent, delicate, slightly spicy. The palate is dry, warm, soft, quite tannic and fruity with an alcohol content 13,50%.
DON ANTONIO, I.G.P. PUGLIA PRIMITIVO –A soft Primitivo from Gioia del Colle. This wine is the result of an innovative technique that involves firstly the carbonic maceration for 7-8 days, and secondly, the mallolactic fermentation in barrels of 100 hl Slovenian oak. The maturation then takes place in the same casks for 6 months, followed by at least a year spent to rest in the bottle. The result is immediately amazing, the nose has a richness of fruit with an intense and persistent aroma, fine, distinguished by a vein of spice derived from the oak and the grapes themselves. In the mouth it provides warmth yet it’s largely soft and harmonious.
