General Description and Longevity

Punta Aquila by Tenute Rubino expresses a version of Primitivo that combines the typical richness of Salento fruit with a distinct dynamism and minerality. The use of wooden truncated cone vats is strategic to soften the tannins and add complexity without dominating the varietal notes. Thanks to its powerful structure and good acidity, it can be enjoyed young for its exuberant freshness, but it has an aging potential of **4-6 years**, during which the spicy and tertiary notes will integrate further.
