primitivo
Primitivo is a very ancient vine whose roots are to be found in southern Italy, particularly in the region of Apulia.
A demanding vine, particularly sensitive to hostile climates and mould, characterised by generous bunches with particularly sweet grapes and skins rich in anthocyanins, which give the wine an intense colour.
These grapes, which are always covered with bloom to protect them from ultraviolet rays and excessive dehydration, find the ideal environment in Puglia to achieve excellent quality.

Cultivation aptitudes
Vine of medium to good vigour with semi-erect vegetation; medium shoot, rather short internode and balanced vegetation.
Prefers medium-textured, deep, clayey-calcareous soils, well exposed in the northernmost areas; requires warm and dry climates for regular grape ripening.
Raising and pruning
Requires forms of cultivation that are not too expansive and medium-short pruning.
It is therefore suitable for full mechanisation as long as certain environmental conditions are respected, especially in the northernmost parts of the growing area.
Production
Medium to good and fairly constant in both short and medium-long pruning.
Sensitivity to diseases
Somewhat sensitive to powdery mildew, prone to green millerandage. Good resistance to late frosts.
Oenological potential
Yields a wine of intense ruby red colour, with a characteristic, vinous bouquet, dry, fruity, tannic, non-acidic, full-bodied, velvety, suitably alcoholic flavour.
White vinification produces an excellent rosé wine, sapid, fruity and very pleasant.
