CASALE CILIANI 2019 – AZIENDA AGRICOLE D’ADDARIO – PRIMITIVO SALENTO IGT – ITALY

Aziende Agricole D?Addario is inspired by the ambition, the love for the land, and the dream of bottling wines which recount the authentic strength of Puglia. These have driven the D?Addario family to pursue a production model aimed at creating refined wines of the highest quality.

From this pursuit of exellence originate the close ties with families of expert, experienced winemakers in two very strategic areas of Puglia: Sava, home of the renowned Primitivo di Manduria DOC, and Turi, cradle of the Primitivo DOC of Gioia del Colle.

Wines with a strong character, but of great elegance and refinement in taste and aroma. Bold-hued, opulent-bodied reds that explode in the chalice with a decisive aromatic complexity, and caress the palate with a soft and velvety tannic texture; delicate whites with strong minerality.

Once the optimal level of ripening has been reached, the precious grapes are meticulously harvested by hand in the early morning hours, in order to preserve their integrity and freshness. They are then immediately transferred to the cellar and left to the care of the winemakers, who will follow all the stages of vinification and aging; phases that combine the ancient art and tradition of winemaking with modern, high-quality, efficient technologies.

The refinement which takes place in oak barriques and in the so-named ?capasuni?- traditional terracotta jugs, widely used in the past ? enhances our wines and exalt the aromas of our prized vines.
