This wine punches well above its weight, with quality to rival its more celebrated neighbours. It displays a fine array of succulent red berry fruits with lifted coffee and cedarwood notes.
Schola Sarmenti Cubardi Primitivo 2023
A profound and elegant Primitivo born from 65-year-old bush-trained vines deeply rooted in the red soils of Salento. This is a wine of heritage and power, crafted with precision and respect for tradition. Vineyard & Production The old vines are trained in the Alberello Pugliese system at a density of 4,500 plants per hectare, yielding just 900 to 1,100 grams per plant. Grapes are hand-picked and carefully placed into airy crates before vinification. The wine is aged for six months in French oak tonneaux and a further eight months in bottle, allowing structure and depth to harmonise beautifully. Tasting Notes From these venerable vines comes a Primitivo that expresses authenticity and finesse. The bouquet reveals intense notes of ripe fruit, with inviting hints of tobacco, followed by a soft finish of chocolate and coffee. On the palate, it is velvety and enveloping, with gently expanding tannins that lend persistence and grace. The texture is rich yet airy, leaving a long and memorable impression that speaks of the wine’s strong personality. Food Match Ideal with braised meats, mature cheeses, or rich game dishes. Grape Primitivo 100%
