Puglia Primitivo Tatarànne

The word 'Tatarànne' is a dialect expression from Gioia del Colle in Apulia used to indicate a grandfather or an authoritative person responsible for passing down knowledge, work ethic, and respect for people, animals and the environment. This wine, mostly from spur-pruned and partially from bush-trained vines, grows on soils of different nature: calcareous with red soil and tufaceous, generating the rich and diverse shades of this wine. Fermentation occurs spontaneously in open vats, partly de-stemmed and partly whole bunch, and is completed between 7 and 10 days, accompanied by light pumping over and followed by ageing in steel vats.
