"Primitivo grapes ripen very early, which explains their name. Interestingly, just 20 days after the harvest, Primitivo vines produce new grapes, traditionally called "second harvest"; these younger bunches are used by the winemaker to increase the freshness and acidity of these bold wines, giving a wonderful balance to the rich berry fruit and spice character. Goes great with well-seasoned main courses based on red sauces, meat and roasts; aged cheeses with intense flavours, forest mushrooms and game."
In its fifth generation, Paolo Seo is based in the Dalento wine village of Dan Tonaci. The story of this beautiful estate began at the turn of the twentieth century, when Antonio Seo started to vinify the grapes grown in the vineyards of Masseria Monticello. The winery has enjoyed constant investment over the years and is today a modern winery, with a capacity of 120,000
hl and a barrel room housing 1000 French and American oak barriques. Mainly indigenous grape varieties are grown in the 80 ha of vineyards: Primitivo, Negroamaro and Fiano.
