WINE MAKING PROCESS
The Monte Dei Cocci Primitivo di Manduria D.O.P. is produced using a soft maceration process followed by fermentation in steel silos. This technique aims to gently extract color and flavor from the 100% Primitivo di Manduria grapes. After fermentation, the wine undergoes a six-month aging period in French oak barriques, which contributes to its structure and complexity. It is then aged for an additional three months in the bottle before being released. The 2024 vintage benefited from a warm, dry season in Puglia, leading to an early harvest of healthy grapes.
