Guttarolo

Grape Variety: Primitivo

Producer: Cristiano Guttarolo 

Region: Gioia del Colle, Puglia, Italy

Wild Scale: 5/5

Vegan friendly wine

13.5% alcohol

Winemaking: Organic Primitivo grapes harvested by hand. Fermentation with indigenous yeast on the skins for 7 days. Aged in tanks for 9 months. No filtration, fining or added sulphur.

This Wine: Natural red wine with a medium body. Very unlike any Primitivo we have had before with much for brightness, freshness and balance. Dark fruit flavours such as plum and black cherries along with a wild acidity and mineral finish. 

Notes on the Winemaker: The wines of Cristiano Guttarolo very much stand out from the Pugliese crowd. Despite the heat and dry conditions in this part of southern Italy, he retains freshness and minerality in his cuvées thanks to the elevation of his vineyards. Everything is farmed organically and sulphur is never used.
