Primalaterra 2014
Cilento Aglianico Dop
Primalaterra is the time it takes, the time dictated by the earth and the sky, rather than by men. It is the Aglianico that is free to sleep, to wake up when it wants to, to stretch out a little and calmly, very calmly, come out of the cellar where it has been resting.
A very rainy vintage, even during the harvest, which allowed us to deal with a slightly lower alcohol content, but with the structure intact. The 2014 Primalaterra dressed itself in silk and rose petals, giving an apparent lightness that invites you to quench your thirst.
Balanced and smooth, it pairs well with spring evenings and Motown soul productions. Marvin Gaye first and foremost.
