Sasseo Primitivo Salento IGT Altemura

Sasseo is made with grapes from selected vineyards (40 ha). The grapes are harvested in the first week of September, with some of the berries having over-ripened on the vine. The grapes are then delicately pressed and destemmed and the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at an average temperature of 26°C.

TASTING  NOTES

bouquet: the nose reveals full, intense aromas reminiscent of plums and red fruit jam with sweet spicy notes.
flavour: a wine with considerable body, the palate is enveloping, warm and soft and expresses very ripe fruit, backed by a pleasurable backbone of sweet tannins.
