It consists in choking the stem of the bunches in order to prevent the nutrition of the berries, thus inducing a natural drying in the plant. The bunches are left to dry for about 12 days, losing about 25-30% of their weight in liquids, and concentrating aromas and flavors before harvesting. After destemming, the grapes are gently crushed, allowing the skins to remain intact for a better extraction of colour. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 22-25 °C for 8-10 days. In order to obtain greater aromas and soft tannins, frequent pumping over and délestage are carried out. After racking takes place the malolactic fermentation. 6 months in 2°passage American oak barrels, 6 months in stainless steel tanks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection class=\"my-1gkidb0\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"my-1yz7e9k\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"bb-text my-1ih4h1f\"\u003e5 months in oak barriques and 6 months in steel\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood Match : \u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eMain courses based on red sauces, meat and game; well-seasoned risotto, mushrooms, mature cheeses and cold cuts.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV: \u003c\/strong\u003e13.5%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape : \u003c\/strong\u003ePrimitivo\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer : \u003c\/strong\u003ePaolo Lee, The Wine People\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry : \u003c\/strong\u003ePuglia, Italy\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Wine People","offers":[{"title":"Default","offer_id":57675559666038,"sku":"ITR-PLP-001","price":14.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0458\/5289\/files\/Passitivoappassimentoprimitivoorganic600.jpg?v=1776266575","url":"https:\/\/www.darcywine.co.uk\/products\/paolo-leo-organic-passitivo-primivo-2023","provider":"D'Arcy Wines","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
