Morella 'Mezzanotte' Primitivo 2020

Tarantino IGP

100% Primitivo. This is a blend of bush vine Primitivo with an average age of 40 years and the new vineyard, planted in 2005. This vineyard was planted with cuttings taken from the Old Vine and La Signora vineyards. It is located in Manduria about 3km from the Ionian Sea. The soils are red sandy clay over limestone. The grapes are de-stemmed directly into small open fermenters. The ferments are hand plunged, and the wine is basket pressed and matured in old oak barrels. The wine is racked two or three times before bottling without filtration. R&R
