The La Marchesana Primitivo appears a deep ruby-red color with violet dizzles in the glass. The nose reveals intense aroma of little berries (blackberry, sour cherry, ripe cherry) and delicate notes of flowers (violet) and plants (wild mint). The palate is full and long and with a velvet flavor that ends with notes of almond.
100% Primitivo from the Marchesana vineyard in Gioia del Colle aged for 9 months in stainless steel tanks and 4 months in bottle.
The side project from Polvanera’s Filippo Cassano with the desire to showcase all the indigenous grape varietals of Puglia. The choice to produce IGT rather than DOC wines allows for larger crops and greater immediacy in style, where the primary fruit essence of each grape imparts the foremost character to each wine. The same clean, precise and fresh style that has made Polvanera into one of the leaders in the new wave of Puglia wine are found in the La Marchesana wines as well.
