Apulia: land of sun, sea and wind. Simply perfect conditions for optimal ripening of Primitivo. Here, the land is characterised by medium-deep soils on layers of limestone rock, which give the wine a unique minerality. An indigenous Apulian grape, the Primitivo used in the production of this wine comes from 16-year-old vines, trained by the spurred cordon system. Mature vines capable of giving the wine exceptional structure and complexity. Harvesting is manual, in August, when the grapes reach perfect ripeness. This is followed by a fermentation with maceration for 10 days that brings out the aromas and flavours of the base variety. An ageing of 6 months on fine lees in steel tanks completes the process, giving the wine softness and complexity. Quota 29 presents itself in the glass of a beautiful intense ruby red colour with violet reflections. The nose reveals an enveloping bouquet of red fruits, such as black cherry, cherry and plum. Then notes of dark chocolate and black pepper. In the mouth, however, it is warm, round and solidly structured, with perfectly blended tannins and a lingering liquorice finish. This wine is perfect with red meat dishes, game, mature cheeses and first courses with meat sauces.
Menhir was born in the early 2000s from the dream of Gaetano Marangelli, an Apulian agricultural entrepreneur with a passion for his land and its indigenous grape varieties. From a small business project, in the space of 'relatively' few years, Menhir has turned into a reference wine reality, with a production of over a million bottles that carry the name of Apulia throughout the world. The beating heart of Menhir are the native Apulian vines, such as Negroamaro, Primitivo, Susumaniello and Malvasia Nerai, cultivated with respect for the land and according to the principles of sustainability. Menhir is inspired by the winemaking tradition of Apulia, reinterpreting it in a modern and innovative way. In fact, the company invests in cutting-edge technology and sustainable farming practices to produce wines of the highest quality that reflect the region's unique terroir.
