WINE MAKING PROCESS
The production of La Pruina Primitivo Di Manduria involves destemming and crushing of the Primitivo grapes, followed by thermo-controlled alcoholic fermentation with extended skin contact. Malo-lactic fermentation is also employed. The wine is then aged for around six months, potentially in oak barrels or stainless steel tanks. Specific cuvées might undergo longer aging in French oak barriques. The harvest typically occurs in late August or early September due to the early-ripening nature of the Primitivo grape.
