CHARACTERISTICS
  • TypeVino rosso fermo
  • Location Apulia
  • Grapes Primitivo 100%
  • Sensations Deep, impenetrable red colour. The intensity on the nose characterises it and reveals the variety, offering a fruity bouquet of plums and cherries in alcohol, blueberry jam, spicy notes and unmistakable scents of Mediterranean scrub. On the palate it is structured, warm, rightly tannic, soft and well modulated with depth of flavour and good drinkability. Food pairings: perfect with grilled meat, pulled pork, lamb, ribs with bbq sauce, brisket, baked lasagne or a braised meat.
  • Vinification The grapes, freshly hand-picked from the vineyards, are brought to the cellar for careful selection of the bunches and subsequent crushing and destemming. The fermentation maceration phase begins in steel for 8/10 days at 25°. The must is then softly pressed and, again in steel, malolactic fermentation takes place. Ageing continues in steel and bottle before release.

    "Le Carrare" Primitivo Puglia IGP 2020
  • Ruvo di Puglia is an area that stands out for its geographical and climatic characteristics. Situated on the limestone hills of the Alta Murgia, this place offers an ideal habitat for the cultivation of Primitivo, which, in turn, finds its highest expression here. This is the birthplace of Primitivo Puglia IGP Le Carrare, a beautifully pleasant red wine proposed by CRIFO. Primitivo, it may go without saying, is a grape variety known for its ability to produce robust, structured and richly aromatic wines. For Le Carrare, in particular, only grapes cultivated with the spurred cordon are used, which guarantees a low yield per plant but a higher concentration of sugars and aromatic substances in the grapes. With a density of around 5,000 vines per hectare, high quality grapes are obtained, ready to be harvested in the first ten days of September, when they reach the right balance between acidity and sugars. After harvesting, which is done manually, the grapes are taken to the cellar for careful selection of the bunches, followed by crushing and destemming. The fermentation maceration phase, which takes place in steel for 8-10 days at a controlled temperature, is crucial to extract all the colour and aromas from the skins. Subsequently, the must is pressed softly to preserve the delicacy of the tannins, and malolactic fermentation, also in steel, begins. This helps to make the wine softer and less angular. Ageing then continues in steel and then in the bottle, until a perfect balance is achieved. Le Carrare has a deep, impenetrable red colour. The bouquet is intense and complex, with predominant notes of plums and cherries under spirits, followed by hints of blueberry jam, spices and scents of Mediterranean scrub. In the mouth it is structured and warm, with well-balanced tannins and a softness that makes it extremely pleasant. Its depth and good drinkability are the characteristics that distinguish it and make it perfect to accompany rich and tasty dishes. Try it, for example, with grilled meat, pulled pork, lamb, ribs with BBQ sauce, brisket or, for those who love the simple and genuine dishes of our grandmothers, with baked lasagne or Sunday braised meat.

    The Cantina di Ruvo di Puglia is a fine example of cooperation that works and brings value to its territory. It was founded in 1960, when 28 winegrowers decided to unite to improve their bargaining power in the sale of grapes, which were often bought by large national groups. This union marked the beginning of a path of growth and transformation that, over the years, has led the Cooperative to evolve from a simple producer of musts to a winery capable of producing high quality bottled wines. In this journey, 2010 represents a milestone. That year saw the inauguration of a new winemaking facility, designed to process native Apulian varieties. The winery's vineyards cover an area that encompasses the provinces of Bari and Barletta-Andria-Trani, in the heart of Apulia. The proximity of the sea offers an ideal microclimate for viticulture, thanks to the sea breezes that mitigate the high summer temperatures typical of the area. The vineyards are cultivated using various traditional techniques, including the alberello and the Apulian pergola. Among the vines grown are the main indigenous varieties, such as Nero di Troia, Primitivo and Bombino Bianco. The historical name of the cooperative, Cantina della Riforma Fondiaria, is the basis of the acronym CRIFO, by which the Cantina's wines have always been known. Today, the Cantina can count on the cooperation of more than 400 members who guarantee an annual production of more than 8,000 tons of grapes.
