2021 Rivera Primitivo

Background

The vineyards, located on limestone-based high plateaus and exposed to northerly winds coming in from the Adriatic Sea, combined with the characteristics of native vines with slow, late ripening, make the Castel del Monte area an example of how Apulian wine production can be represented by wines of surprising freshness, elegance and longevity. The soul of Rivera are the vineyards: 70 hectares of property, flanked by 75 Ha of specialized olive groves, trained by spurred cordon and guyot with high density of vines per hectare and low unit production, and cultivated according to sustainable farming protocols in a wine growing project that focuses everything on quality and the enhancement of the different terroirs of the estate.

Vinification

The harvest takes place in the last week of August. Maceration lasts 8-9 days in stainless steel tanks at a temperature of 28°C.  AGING: 9 months in vitrified cement vats and then a couple of months in the bottle.
