Ottante Primitivo - Cantine der Falco

Ruby red, spicy, fruity, balanced structure

Product information on "Ottante Primitivo" from the Cantine de Falco winery

The Ottante Primitivo di Manduria DOP from Cantine De Falco is an authentic ambassador of Apulia and embodies the essence of this sun-drenched region in an impressive way. The autochthonous grape variety Primitivo thrives here on the typical sandy, red clay soils, which give the wine its characteristic spice, depth and fruitiness. Produced by the family-run winery Cantine De Falco, the Ottante perfectly reflects the Mediterranean climate and the passion for traditional viticulture.

In the glass, the Ottante shows a deep ruby red. On the nose, an intense Mediterranean bouquet of ripe black berries, black cherries, sweet tobacco and spicy notes of coffee and carob unfolds, complemented by subtle hints of thyme and black olives. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied, powerful and at the same time harmonious, with elegant, well-integrated tannins, dense fruit and a balanced structure.

After six months of aging in American oak barrels, the Ottante develops its remarkable depth and a long, intense finish characterized by spice and ripe fruit. An expressive Primitivo for all who appreciate powerful, characterful red wines.
