Botromagno Primitivo

Botromagno Primitivo

Wine Description

Due to its naturally low yields, Primitivo requires special care in the vineyard and ripens best when bush-trained. As if this wasn't difficult enough, Botromagno plants its Primitivo at higher elevations to accentuate the acidity and finesse of the grapes.
