Anima di Primitivo
Progenitor of the «Anima» selection, to manifest against homologated and «soulless» wines. Refined bouquet of red and black fruit, enriched with spices.
TENUTE EMÉRA - Lizzano (TA) • APULIA

An ancient farmhouse and a modern subterranean cellar, with sustainable architecture. A few km away, an aristocratic hunting lodge surrounded by vineyards that run towards the nearby coast, raised between the two seas, where once the land was completely submerged. Essential soil, composed of sand, clay and silt, forms a good nutrient base and provides excellent drainage, while the sea breeze refreshes the vineyards during the night, after the sultry summer days.

Primitivo, one of the identifying vines of wine-making Puglia, finds here its land of maximum expression. Its name comes from the Latin "primativus", i.e. precocious, in fact its grapes are the first to ripen. The harvest takes place within the first ten days of September, in the coolest hours of the morning, to protect the delicate bunches from the sultry heat.
Tasting notes and pairings

Jam of dark fruits enhanced by light toasted hints and sweet spices. Full, warm, enveloping, voluptuous sip with a long finish. Ideal for savory first courses, red meats, cheeses
