Organic Primitivo Flower Puglia IGT

Natural sweet wine from late harvest Primitivo, without added sulphites

The purest sweetness of the South: a rare nectar of black fruits and balsamic veins

The Primitivo Flower from Cantina Giara

Fiore di Primitivo Puglia IGT is a rare and precious natural sweet wine from Cantina Giara, made from a late autumn harvest of organic Primitivo grapes. It is a "naturally sweet free-run must wine," produced in very limited quantities and free of added sulfites or other preservatives: its sweetness comes not from added sugars, but from the natural concentration of the grapes left to ripen extensively on the vine. It is distinguished by its intense red color tending towards purple. Unfiltered, it offers a progressive finish of small black fruits, with balsamic undertones that enhance its sweetness. It is the sweetest and most surprising expression of Primitivo, according to Giorgio Nicassio's natural and artisanal philosophy.
 
 
 

The roots of this wine are deep in the tradition of late harvests

Late-harvest sweet wines are among the oldest and most noble in the history of winemaking: the Greeks and Romans already prized "passito" wines, made by drying the grapes to concentrate their sugars and aromas. Leaving the grapes to ripen on the vine for a long time, until late autumn, allows the water to evaporate and the sugars and aromas to concentrate naturally, resulting in nectars of extraordinary intensity and sweetness. Creating a naturally sweet wine, without the addition of sulfites or preservatives, is a challenge that requires great mastery and the healthiest grapes. Primitivo, a warm grape rich in sugars, lends itself magnificently to this interpretation. Cantina Giara thus revives an ancient tradition, in a natural, rare, and precious version.
 
 
 

Choosing Primitivo Flower means taking care of yourself

A naturally produced sweet wine, without added sulfites or preservatives, from spontaneous fermentation and organic farming, represents a conscious choice for a more authentic and genuine drinking experience. Its natural sweetness, derived solely from the concentration of grape sugars, avoids any artificial additives. Like all red wines from long-ripened grapes, it retains a good amount of polyphenols and antioxidants. Being an intensely flavored dessert wine, small quantities are appreciated, best enjoyed slowly. Its extremely limited production and completely natural ingredients make it a niche product, rare and precious. It is recommended to let it rest after transportation and aerate in the glass; any residue is natural and testifies to the wine's authenticity. Always consume in moderation.
