Primitivo Bio '12 e Mezzo' Varvaglione 2024
유기농 및 바이오다이나믹Varvaglione의 프리미티보 Bio '12 e Mezzo'는 역사적인 살렌티노 생산지에서 생산되며, 남부의 가장 전통적인 레드 와인의 가벼운 버전입니다. 코에서는 잘 익은 빨간 과일의 향과 계피 같은 달콤한 향신료, 그리고 바닐라와 카카오의 미세한 배경이 느껴집니다. 맛은 부드럽고 감싸주며 지속적이며, 잘 통합된 타닌이 좋은 구조를 제공합니다. 음료로서의 성격을 가진 와인으로, 강렬한 파스타 요리와 잘 어울립니다.
The Primitivo Bio '12 e Mezzo' from the Apulian winery Varvaglione represents aninterpretation of Primitivo made with respect for the environment, as evidenced by the organic certification. This label is part of the '12 e Mezzo' collection, composed of wines characterised by a low alcohol content, precisely around 12.5% by volume. In particular, this Primitivo is part of the '12 e Mezzo' Bio line, being produced from organically grown grapes.
Varvaglione '12 e Mezzo' Primitivo Bio is made exclusively from Primitivo grapes grown in the province of Taranto according to certified organic farming principles. Following the harvest, the grapes are transferred to the winery to be mellowed in stainless steel tanks, containers where alcoholic fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 24-26°C with maceration on the skins. After the malolactic fermentation has also been completed, the wine is racked into French oak barrels for maturation for about 6 months, which lends further complexity to this Primitivo, which after a further brief rest in the bottle is finally ready for release.
To the eye, the Primitivo '12 e Mezzo' Bio of the family-run Varvaglione shows an intense ruby red colour with violet hues. On the nose, vivid fruity scents of currant and blackberry emerge, accompanied by notes of sweet spices such as nutmeg and vanilla and hints of liquorice and chocolate. The taste is surprisingly light thanks to the measured alcohol content, supported by good freshness, with hints of ripe fruit and coconut accompanying the finish. The producer's recommendation is to pair Primitivo Bio '12 e Mezzo' with fresh cheeses, earthy first courses or white meat dishes.
