Felline, Fellone Primitivo di Puglia, Italy
Made only in exceptional vintages (a bit like Vintage Port) when climatic conditions allow a long, late maturity in the vineyard and the resultant wine has a hint of natural sweetness to balance its rich dark-red fruit. Aged for twelve months in french oak barrels this wine has a great aging potential. Lay down a case for five years and see what you think!
There is a strong sense of responsibility within the Felline Family. As top man Gregory Perrucci himself puts it they have “Values, knowledge, traditions and experiences that constitute a precious heritage with which we support our work in the vineyards, in the winery, on the markets around the world. Among the people. We call it Culture, the French say Terroir.” Gregory dedicates himself to Primitivo, to the purchase of interesting vineyards and to modern winemaking techniques, many of which learned during his numerous trips to California. Trips in which he also investigates the link between Primitivo and Californian Zinfandel. Felline is the go-to place for the best for the area’s Primitivos.
As they say locally "Selvaggina, frutta secca e formaggi forti"
