Primatio is a rare wine produced entirely with Apennines Nebbiolo grapes, in Lombardy. This Nebbiolo was recently recovered in sporadic vineyards in our territory, also known as “Old Piedmont“, after several decades of absence. The vine is well suited to our white soils, which have characteristics similar to those of the Langhe, although the climate is slightly drier and warmer.
The vines of Nebbiolo are the first to sprout and develop and the last to be harvest. From the primacy of the length of the growing season also derives the name “Primatio” of our wine. This feature, combined with the particularity of our hill, allows the grapes to ripen slowly and to accumulate substances that give body and structure to the wine and a beautiful ruby red color.
