- Description
The Id according to Freud: It is instinct and unbridled passion (the same with which this wine was made) without conditions, without rules, beyond space and time, logic and morality.
It knows neither good nor evil. The Id, is subject to only one principle: “THE PLEASURE.”
In particularly good vintages, Gianfranco Fini makes a sweet wine with part of the harvested Primitivo: it is the “Es più sole.” The grapes come from the 1.3-hectare Mesckinella vineyard, from vines that are on average 60 years old and are grown in the alberello system. The yield per plant is only 200 grams. Late-harvested grapes are de-stemmed by hand. The berries are fermented in 600-liter French oak barrels for about two weeks. During this process, the pomace cap is submerged and punctured four times a day. The wine subsequently matures for nine months in barriques. About 1,200 37.5cl bottles are bottled.
Gianfranco Fino has rightfully joined the ranks of those winemakers bound to tradition, eager to save old vineyards and keep their specificities alive.
The predominantly Apulian bush-trained vines grow on red limestone-clay soils, caressed by breezes from the Ionian Sea and the warm Apulian sun.
