Fabio Cordella – “Seba Frey” Salento Primitivo Merlot

The soils in the region of the Fabio Cordella winery in Apulia are of remarkable diversity and fertility. They are primarily composed of calcareous clay and sandy loam, providing optimal conditions for growing Primitivo and Negroamaro. This soil composition allows for excellent drainage and promotes the development of intense aromas in the grapes. The mineral 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 flavors and is primarily grown in Apulia, Southern Italy. Primitivo grapes ripen early and develop high sugar levels, resulting in robust wines with high alcohol content. These wines are characterized by their dark color and aromas of black fruits, spices, and chocolate.
