Cellar for up to 9 years. No need to decant before serving. The vision for feudo croci was born on gian andrea tinazzi’s visit to salento when he became captivated by the exceptional potential of the vineyards and the terroir here. He founded the estate in 2001 with the tinazzi family purchasing some 20 hectares of land surrounding a charming farmhouse in carosino. Here they have maintained and planted more vineyards of indigenous varieties including primitivo, negroamaro, malvasia nera and malvasia blanca which thrive in the arid and sunny conditions. This stunning red is crafted from 100% primitivo grapes sourced from the family’s vineyards in carisino. Once in the winery the grapes are crushed and destemmed before being macerated and fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve varietal typicity. The young wine is then matured in 5 hectolitre french and american oak barrels for 6-8 months. The result is an opulent and intense puglian red which is bursting with luscious dark berries, ripe plums and crushed cherries. On the palate there is a robust full body, firm yet supple tannins and a well-built structure that will pair well with hearty red meat dishes such as barbecued ribs, venison, steak and tomato-based pasta dishes.
