Cantine Amastuola Centosassi 2017

Located in Crispiano in the Puglia region, Amastuola organic wines are the result of an artisanal process that strongly recalls tradition while employing advanced technologies. The vineyards sit on a plateau at an altitude of 210 meters above sea level and are farmed entirely according to certified organic practices.

Centosassi is the richest of the Primitivo trio from Amastuola. The yields are lower than those of Primitivo and Lamarossa, and the pressing process takes an incredible 50 days. After pressing, the wine matures for two years in large wooden barrels and then in cement tanks until bottling. The residual sugar and alcohol content is high, but the Centosassi is balanced and pleasant.

A full, soft and finely tannic start characterizes the Amastuola Centastassi wine. This organic wine strikes the eye with its deep and bright ruby- red colour with violet reflections, while the nose is fruity with aromas of sour cherries, sweet violets and small wild berries. The scents of fruits melt with those of marine and mineral aromas, typical of the Amastuola terroir. The “full” texture of this wine and its smoothness make it suitable for first and second courses of meat, roast game and ripened cheeses. Aged 12 months in sessile oak barrels. 100% Primitivo
