Primitivo di Manduria 'Il Bacca' Luccarelli-Farnese 2013

Primitivo di Manduria "Il Folle" is a really great primitivo, created by the oenologist of the Farnese winery, on land owned by the winery in Puglia. The name "Pazzia" encapsulates its history; the protagonist is just Filippo Baccalaro, winemaker of Farnese, who visit a very old vines in a company property, was informed that the farm would be gone soon, destroyed because of low farm yield. Was enough a simple look for Filippo to exclaim "madness!" and, therefore, prevent the farm was lost. From that day on that strip of land that surrounds Sava has become a point of pride for Farnese, representing the fullness and complexity of the aromatic fruits of that territory. The Primitivo "Il Folle" is a wine that fully reflects the potential of Puglia and Sava in particular: a place where the earth is flat overlooking the sea, the fertility of the countryside and the proximity to the beaches of the Ionian coast make it an obligatory stop a gastronomic journey in South Italy. Thanks to these characteristics, "Il Folle" proves to be a wine of great aromatic richness and minerals, with great structure and body.
