The 'appassimento' on the vine – a technique that involves leaving the bunches on the vine longer to concentrate sugars and aromas – results in a richer and more intense fruit. Manual harvesting, carried out in the cooler hours of the day, helps preserve the quality of the berries and the aromatic complexity typical of this denomination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWinemaking and aging\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter selecting the best grapes, fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature with selected indigenous yeasts, to enhance the natural characteristics of the grape variety. Maceration, which lasts about 10 days, promotes the extraction of color and soft tannins. This is followed by 12 months of aging in \u003cstrong\u003eFrench oak barriques\u003c\/strong\u003e, which gives the wine elegance, roundness, and spicy notes, perfectly integrating with the sweetness of the fruit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ePrimitivo di Manduria Dolce Naturale DOCG '11 Filari' 2022 - San Marzano\u003c\/strong\u003e is a wine that captivates with its balance and sensory emotion.
