Fabio Cordella – “Ronaldinho One” Salento Primitivo

The soils in the region of the Fabio Cordella winery in Apulia are remarkably diverse and fertile. They primarily consist of calcareous clay and sandy loam, providing optimal conditions for the cultivation of Primitivo and Negroamaro. This soil composition allows for excellent drainage and enhances the development of intense aromas in the grapes. The mineral-rich structure of the soils imparts impressive depth and complexity to the wines, reflecting the character of the Apulian landscape.

The Primitivo grape variety is known for its deep, intense aromas and is primarily grown in Apulia, southern Italy. Primitivo grapes ripen early and develop high sugar levels, resulting in robust wines with a high alcohol content. The wines are characterized by their dark color and aromas of black fruits, spices, and chocolate.
