WINE MAKING PROCESS
Specific details regarding the vinification process for P Primitivo Satone are not extensively provided beyond the label's ingredient list. However, Primitivo wines from Puglia are typically crafted to highlight their rich fruit character, often undergoing fermentation in stainless steel to preserve freshness, followed by a period of maturation, sometimes in oak, to develop complexity and soften tannins. The label indicates the wine contains grapes, concentrated grape must, preservatives (sulphites, dimethyldicarbonate), and stabilizers (gum arabic and/or potassium polyaspartate), and was bottled under a protective atmosphere.
