Fiorentino - Primitivo Terra San Giovanni 2022
Puglia | red, dry |
Full-bodied and harmonious! Dark fruit combined with delicate spices and a long finish.
This wine boasts a rich and balanced structure, celebrating the strength and complexity of the variety. The taste blends ripe red fruit, hints of dried herbs, and subtle spicy notes. Its long finish is full yet smooth, with a pleasantly warm, almost spicy aftertaste.
The winery, led by Pierantonio Fiorentino, was founded in 2014 in Galatina, in the heart of Salento. Since its inception, it has focused on organic production without chemicals and with minimal intervention to ensure that the wines best reflect their authenticity and purity. Under the Mediterranean sun and with a view of the rocky landscape, they breathe new life into traditional varieties such as Primitivo, Negroamaro, and Fiano.
The winery consists of two parts – one in the restoratively renovated Folonari factory, where wine was produced for all of Italy at the beginning of the 20th century, and the other in the historic Valle dell’Asso winery building from 1920. This unique combination of tradition and modern approach gives rise to wines that pay tribute to the local terroir.
