Cubardi is an important Primitivo that comes from old vineyards that are 65 years old. A small natural work of art capable of producing highly concentrated fruit. Few bunches, super rich, which are enhanced by Schola Sarmenti with careful processing. Vineyards cultivated with the traditional Apulian alberello system that requires great skill and, unfortunately, also a lot of manual labour. After harvesting, the grapes are delicately placed in small ventilated boxes and delivered to the winery to be processed within a few hours. Then, after vinification, the wine matures for a period of about 6 months in second-passage French oak tonneaux, and then completes its maturation with a further 8 months in the bottle. The result is an intense and concentrated red, with notes of ripe fruit and hints of tobacco, chocolate and coffee. In the mouth it is velvety and enveloping, with tannins capable of gentle expansion. A wine with great personality that undoubtedly requires an important pairing. Excellent with large stews of meat, it can also be a pleasant chalice to sip slowly while chatting in the evening.
