AROMA OF WINE

Primativo. Primitive is an Italian black grapes vine variety, whose best lands to germinate and produce fruit are the clay and calcareous loams in Apulia. It is particularly spread in the province of Taranto, a city included in the Salentine region situated in the South of Italy, where the climate is hot and dry. Although its origins are uncertain, it is presumed to have been brought from Dalmatia or Croatia to Apulia by the ancient lllyrians, over 2,000 years ago. Almost certainly, it is named Primitive after the Italian term "primo", meaning "first", due to the precocity of its biological cycle, from flowering to the grapes ripening. In fact, unlike the vine varieties with a late ripening time, Primitive grapes are usually harvested between the end of August and the first ten days of September.

Varietal Characteristics: The Primitive variety has mdedium-sized, pentagonal and five-lobe shaped leaves. Its clusters are medium-sized, long, simple cone or cylindrical-shaped, winged or double, usually compact. Its grapes are medium-sized and spheroidal, with plenty of bloom on their medium-thick and bluish skin.

Production Features: The Primitive variety has a medium vigour and an early ripening time, with a high but little constant productivity.

Cultivation and Training: The Primitive variety cannot tolerate the drought and high temperatures. Its traditional training system is free-standing with 4 or 5 spurs.

Wine Features: The wine originated by the Primitive variety has a really intense and dark ruby red colour. Its bouquet is spicy and fruity. Its taste is warm, soft, fairly tannic, full-bodied and considerably persistent.
