Baronaggio

Baronaggio

From the sun-drenched district of Baronaggio in Gioia del Colle, this Primitivo is drawn from low-yielding, old vines (35–40 years) rooted in red, rocky soils. The vineyard’s extreme temperature swings between day and night gift the grapes with remarkable balance, ripeness, and aromatic depth. Crafted with precision from hand-harvested fruit to fermentation with indigenous yeasts this wine undergoes careful maceration and matures in French oak, allowing its full character to unfold.
