Doppio Passo Primitivo
A portion of the Primitivo grapes for the Doppio Passo Primitivo is harvested in the second or third decade of August and vinified according to the traditional method for red wines. Fermentation lasts at least 15 days at a regulated temperature of a maximum of 28°C. The other part of the Primitivo grapes ripens for another 3-4 weeks on the vine, followed by the harvest and vinification according to the traditionally customary method. As soon as fermentation on the fermented berry skins of the Primitivo ripened on the vine is completed, the "repasso" or "second pass" takes place with the Primitivo harvested in August. This second fermentation increases the alcohol content; the wine becomes more color-intensive and extract-rich, gaining more fullness and character.
It captivates with a dense bouquet of black berries and inviting cocoa notes. With soft tannins, structure and depth are nevertheless clearly present. The concentrated aromas and fine fruit sweetness continue in the mouth. In short: A brilliant Primitivo at an excellent price/enjoyment ratio!

Very good.
This wine is our favorite, which is also very well received by our guests.
Super
Good processing
Today for a change... Cherry instead of Sherry!
The beautiful exterior of the bottle certainly raises high expectations for its contents. And I must say - quite rightly! The wine is extremely light-footed and succeeds with fine cherry aromas.... an extremely delicious Primitivo!
My favorite wine

Quick answers
How does the Doppio Passo Primitivo taste?
Dense and fruity: black berries, cocoa notes, a fine fruit sweetness. The tannins are soft, yet the wine has noticeable structure and depth — typical for the Doppio Passo method, where a portion of the grapes ripens extra long on the vine.
What does "Doppio Passo" actually mean?
Two harvests, two fermentations: A portion of the Primitivo grapes is harvested and fermented early. The rest ripens 3–4 weeks longer on the vine, is then harvested, and fermented again on the pomace of the first pass. This results in more color, more extract, more character.
What does the wine pair best with?
Good with heartier dishes: leg of lamb, roast veal, pasta with ragù, or mature cheese. It also makes a good impression with pizza with hearty toppings — the fruit sweetness balances spice well.
At what temperature should I serve it?
16–18 °C — slightly cooler than room temperature. If you drink it too warm, you lose the freshness of the fruit; too cold, the tannins seem edgier.
Is the Doppio Passo dry or does it have residual sweetness?
It is vinified dry. The perceived fruit sweetness comes from the ripe Primitivo aromas, not from residual sugar — this makes it accessible without seeming sweet.
How do I store an opened bottle?
Sealed and cool — ideally in the refrigerator — it will keep well for two to three days after opening. A vacuum sealer slows down oxidation even further.
