## Description

Product Description Located in the beautiful Salento Peninsula, an area with a long history but which is now looking determinedly forward towards the future, the Masseria Altemura Estate’s mission is to offer a new perspective on the wines from the Southern Italian Region of Apulia. Geographically the Estate lies in the centre of Apulia, between the Ionian and the Adriatic Seas which lap the shores of the region. A unique maritime climate and abundant sunlight provide Masseria Altemura with very favourable conditions for growing grapes.Sasseo is the embodiment of the wish to create a Primitivo with a strong personality. Today, it is one of the most internationally successful wines from Puglia. Its name (alluding to Sasso, ‘stone’ in Italian) expresses its direct relationship to the calcareous ‘stones’ that emerge from Salento’s red soil, forming a mirror-like surface that reflects the sun. Its unmistakable style is a perfect combination of freshness and softness, and it has a structure with just the right balance of complexity and density.100% Primitivo. Sasseo is made with grapes from selected vineyards (40 ha). The grapes are harvested in the first week of September, with some of the berries having over-ripened on the vine. The grapes are then delicately pressed and destemmed and the must ferments in stainless steel tanks at an average temperature of 26°C, Sasseo ages for 12 months in big Slavonian oak casks and in the bottle for another 6 months.The BouquetThe nose reveals full, intense aromas reminiscent of plums and red fruit jam with sweet spicy notes.The FlavourOA wine with considerable body, the palate is enveloping, warm and soft and expresses very ripe fruit, backed by a pleasurable backbone of sweet tannins.Excellent with full-flavoured first courses, white and red meats either grilled or served with sauces, ideal with roast lamb and matured cheeses but not marbled cheeses. Best served at 16-18°C.

Review: Beautiful Primitivo Wine - I originally tried this in a restaurant. Loved the taste and was so surprised to find it on here but excited at the same time as it makes things a lot easier ordering it now. If you love a nice sweet red that isn't to overpowering, smooth and all round just nice to drink on it's own or with food then this is perfect. Highly recommend trying.
Review: Rich and smooth - Really full bodied and well made, great balance of old world wine structure and new world wine fruit
