2019 Podere Don Cataldo Primitivo
This Primitivo has an intense ruby red color with bright purple highlights. It exudes a complex bouquet with notes of plums and cherry in alcohol, finishing with dried fruits and fig jam hints. It reveals typical delicious aromas of licorice, cloves and dark chocolate reminiscences. A full bodied wine with an authentic and charming taste gently filling the mouth.
The story of Podere Don Cataldo is intertwined with the history of the Rocca family, just as the vine bundles bind to the tendrils, sinking its deep roots in Puglia, in the heart of Salento, a few kilometres from the Ionian coast.
In 1998, Ernesto Rocca, the third generation of the family, driven by the love for this land and for the art of viticulture, bought a farm in Leverano, in the province of Lecce. An expanse of over 100 hectares consisting of two twin farms: Vignali Grandi and Podere Don Cataldo. The entire collection is named after the latter. Today the passion for the art of wine has been handed down to the fifth generation: children and grandchildren with commitment and dedication lead the company to new goals.
