Masso Antico is the essence of Salento in a glass. Fine wines born from withered grapes and crafted with passion, following ancient Apulian tradition. A unique sensory experience that celebrates the land.
In the heart of Salento, Masso Antico preserves the tradition of Apulian winemaking. The Alberello Pugliese, an ancient cultivation method, yields excellent quality grapes that are withered on the vine and refined in barrels. Passionate winemakers reinterpret history into eclectic wines, capable of expressing the colors and flavors of this generous land.
Perfect to pair to savory Apulia traditional dishes, roasted, grilled and stewed meat. To try also with extra fondant chocolate.
The Primitivo vines grow with the traditional “Alberello” cultivation method. The grapes are harvested manually at the end of August when the berries reach their optimum maturation status. After the harvest, fermentation takes place under a controlled temperature of 33°C for approx. 25 days to emphasize its structure and the aromas. Afterwards the wine is aged in oak barrique for at least 12 months.
Intense red color with purple reflections and a bouquet of mature fruits and spicy notes. The ageing in barrique turns it into a well-structured and smooth wine.
