Primitivo Gioia del Colle | Grape variety
The somewhat less well-known Primitivo Gioia del Colle takes its name from the small town of the same name, located further inland between Bari and Taranto. The Gioia del Colle is usually a bit more structured and, due to the pronounced tannins, also a bit more powerful than other Primitivos. This is partly due to the location: the Gioia del Colle is higher than the rest of the growing area at 350 to 450 meters above sea level. As a result, the nights are cooler and the ripening of the grapes takes a little longer in proportion. The Primitivo from Gioia del Colle received the Protected Designation of Origin in the form of DOC classification in 1987. - Gerardo [TS02/23]
