Perrini Primitivo Salento 750ml

In the very Southern part of the heel of the "Italian boot", which is really the Salento Peninsula of the Puglia region, the Perrini family have been making wine for generations. For many year,s most of the grapes were sold to local négociants, as the means and finances to estate-bottle were not available to many of the local contadinos. Vito and his sister Mila Perrini converted their family’s 50 hectares to organic viticulture in 1993, long before many in the area had even considered it. They built an underground cellar, definitively not the norm or the tradition in the region, and more importantly, a huge but necessary expenseto make truly subtle wines, as opposed to the often too-heavy-handed fermentations of the native red grapes.
