Ollympus Primitivo IGT Salento is created from carefully selected Primitivo grapes grown in Salento. The grapes undergo gentle pressing after being separated from their stems, all while preserving their skins. The fermentation process is meticulously monitored for 10 days at a temperature of 25-28°C, with the skins frequently pumped over to extract the finest compounds. Following malolactic fermentation, it is aged in oak barrels before being bottled. The result is a wine with a deep ruby red colour and a rich, inviting scent of ripe red fruits and spices. Its well-rounded flavour is highlighted by a wild berry taste that is both intense and harmonious, with spicy notes added by the oak barrel aging. Ollympus Primitivo IGT Salento is a perfect accompaniment to spiced meats, seasoned cheeses, bread, and olives, and should be served at a temperature of 16-18°C.
