Description
What kind of wine it is
Fanova Primitivo Gioia del Colle, produced by Terrecarsiche 1939, is a vibrant Apulian red that fully expresses the character of the Primitivo grape. In the glass, it reveals an intense ruby colour, introducing a deep bouquet characterised by notes of blackberry, morello cherry and plum, enriched by lively spicy nuances. On the palate, it is warm and enveloping, with a full-bodied structure capable of balancing the dark fruit notes with a long and satisfying persistence.
Where it comes from
The roots of this wine lie in the Murgia area, between the towns of Castellana Grotte and Acquaviva delle Fonti. The vineyards are situated at an altitude between 300 and 350 metres, rooted in characteristic karst soil. This specific soil composition gives the wine a remarkable backbone and a strong identity. The favourable hilly conditions ensure the optimal development of the grape clusters, guaranteeing a rich flavour profile and a deep territorial expressiveness.
How it is produced
Cultivation follows the Apulian bush vine system, with a low yield to best concentrate the qualities of the fruit. After the harvest, which takes place at the end of August, fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature for about fifteen days, encouraging ideal aromatic extraction. The wine then matures for three months in French oak barrels, consolidating its structure. This careful ageing process gives the tasting a perfect balance.
History and Curiosities
