CANTINA ORSOGNA
Cantina Orsogna Italy Ruminat Primitivo 2022
This is a biodynamic wine, which means the producers have followed biodynamic principles to work with environment and seasons to maximise the natural potential of the vines and grapes and create a wine that best expresses the natural character of the grapes. This Primitivo has a bright ruby red colour. On the nose, aromas of plums, carobs, cherries and violets leap from the glass. The palate is soft and smooth with notes of rich black cherries and blackcurrant fruits combined with notes of cinnamon spice and cloves supported by lovely soft tannins. Well balanced with a fresh acidity and a long, fruity finish.
Region
The mountainous Abruzzo region is on the east coast of central Italy, which is
south of Marche and north of Puglia. The region has two distinct areas with the
hillside vineyards having warm continental climate with cooling from the
Apennine mountains and then the flatter coastal zone which has a warm
Mediterranean climate. Abruzzo is home to the red Montepulciano d’Abruzzo
DOC, white Trebbiano d’Abruzzo DOC. Abruzzo mostly produces wines from
Montepulciano but also Sangiovese, Pecorino and Passerina as well as more
international varietals such as Chardonnay.
