The vines at Masseria Surani are planted using the Guyot training system, with a plant density of 5,500 vines/hectare. The vineyards are designed to fit perfectly into their surroundings: the vines are supported by wooden stakes at the head of each row, and by galvanized iron posts along their length. An irrigation system exists, but it is only used in periods of extreme drought. The soil in the area is limestone-based: it is very fertile and permeable, as well as being cool and a reddish ocher in color due to its iron content.
Named for the Son of Zeus, this 100% Primitivo sees a 12-day fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by a 10 month maturation in aok casks. The wine is rich and forward, with notes of baking spice, licorice, blackberry and black cherry fruit, as well as hints of chocolate. The bright acidity and restrained alcohol levels keep it fresh throughout. Recommended with roasted and grilled meats, seasoned cheeses, and spicy stews.
