Tenuta Patruno Perniola 1821 Riserva – Primitivo DOC 2017 from Gioia del Colle

Tenuta Patruno Perniola 1821 Riserva Primitivo DOC 2017 is a true gem from Puglia – an intense and elegant red wine made from 100% Primitivo from the prestigious Gioia del Colle region. It combines the warmth of the south with height, minerality and finesse. A wine for those who seek power, complexity and authentic Italian character in one bottle.

In Gioia del Colle, where the vineyards are located around 400 meters above sea level, chalky soil, warm sunny days and cool nights create perfect conditions for Primitivo with depth and balance. This Riserva from the 2017 vintage shows just how the area can deliver concentration without losing elegance.

The grapes are hand-picked in the early morning hours to preserve freshness and aromatic precision. Fermentation is slow with natural yeast and vinification is done with respect for the raw material – without unnecessary additives. The result is a wine with pure fruit, silky smooth structure and a clear terroir imprint.
