Description

“Sasseo” Primitivo Salento IGT by Masseria Altemura: Direct and full of personality, this Primitivo takes its name from the calcareous soil (“sasso” meaning stone) where it is grown. It combines the freshness of the territory with the typical softness of the grape, aged for one year in large Slavonian oak barrels.

History and Winemaking

“Sasseo” comes from vineyards with very low yield (about 40 q/ha). The clusters are harvested in the first week of September, partly slightly overripe on the vine. Fermentation occurs in steel tanks at 26°C. Aging consists of **12 months in large Slavonian oak barrels**, followed by an additional **6 months in the bottle**. The name reflects the mineral character of the soil.
