Made from a strict selection of grapes – exclusively of the Primitivo variety – grown on a terrain of reddish ochre earth mixed with slabs of limestone that have been crushed (according to the unique technique known as spietramento), the Masseria Altemura “Sasseo” is intended to recall the uniqueness, sunniness and strength of the terroir that one finds in the glass. When vinification is completed, the wine ages for 12 months in 350-liter (92-gallon) tonneaux of French oak, followed by a further period of fining in the bottle.
