Plantamura Gioia del Colle Primitivo Red Label Parco Largo 2023 MH 15% rye and 10% maltedPrimitivo has a reputation for being big, sweet and jammy and then there's Gioia del Colle, the high, rocky, limestone plateau where the grape gets to keep its manners. Mariangela Plantamura's family has farmed here for over a century, and her vineyards sit next to a nature reserve on chalky soil full of marine fossils. "Parco Largo" is the young vine cuve: short maceration, six months in steel, no oak to hide behind. Yields are tiny by Puglian
