Passo Del Cardinale Primitivo di Manduria

Primitivo grapes ripen very early, which explains their name. Interestingly, just 20 days after the harvest, Primitivo vines produce new grapes, traditionally called "second harvest"; these younger bunches are used by the winemaker to increase the freshness and acidity of these bold wines, giving a wonderful balance to the rich berry fruit and spice character.
