Begin by harvesting ripe Primitivo grapes, ensuring they are free from any rot or disease. Place them in clean containers to avoid crushing.

Harvesting the Grapes

Once harvested, crush and destem the grapes using a mechanical crusher. This process releases the juice and begins the fermentation process.

Crushing and Destemming

Transfer the crushed grapes into a fermentation vessel. Add 5 grams of yeast to the must (crushed grapes and juice) and stir well to ensure even distribution.

Adding Yeast

Allow the must to ferment at a controlled temperature of 22-25°C (72-77°F) for approximately 7-14 days. Monitor the fermentation process closely.

Fermentation

During fermentation, add 15 grams of tannin powder, 50 grams of carobs, 10 ml of cherry essence, and 10 ml of plum extract. Stir the mixture gently to incorporate.

Adding Tannins and Flavorings

Once fermentation is complete, press the wine to separate the liquid from the solids. Use a wine press for efficient extraction.

Pressing the Wine

Add 3 grams of sulfites to the pressed wine to stabilize it and prevent oxidation. Stir gently.

Adding Sulfites

Transfer the wine to oak barrels for aging. Allow it to age for at least 6 months, which will enhance the flavors and tannins.

Aging

After aging, filter the wine if necessary and bottle it in clean, sterilized bottles. Seal the bottles with corks and label them.

Bottling

Let the wine rest in the bottles for at least another month before enjoying. Serve at room temperature to appreciate the full flavors.
