At its heart

Joha, 2019 under-30 Taste & Terroir: Calcareous soilsTasting & Terroir: A new one for us. This is eighty percent Primitivo from his oldest vines, blended with twenty percent of the rare Susumaniello grape. It was fermented for six days on the skins, before being pressed off to vat to rest until the following spring. Heady with wildflowers, black and blue fruits and a wonderful dusty note from the karst terrain, it is a wine with an incredible sense of place. Producer: Cristiano Guttarolo Region: Puglia
