Winemaker Notes
The vineyards are located in Acquaviva Delle Fonti, in the hilly hinterland of Bari (300 meters asl) and include old sapling vines over 70 years old, which constitute a precious corporate heritage.
The poor and rocky soils of predominantly calcareous nature favor low yields and give the grapes particularly fine aromas, especially for a Primitivo.
At the end of the classic red vinification process with maceration on the skins, the wine ages for a period of 18 months in large barrels and 6 months in the bottle . Unfiltered wine.
The Story
The story of Tenute Chiaromonte begins immediately after the official recognition of the Primitivo vine.
A small family-run company, a passion for the land that has never subsided and carried on with pride and commitment. One winter evening, a buyer peeps at Nicola Chiaromonte's door interested in his Primitivo wine. That man changed his life.
In the same year Nicola, the last descendant of the family, takes the reins of the company with courage and perseverance and begins to produce the wine that would have made him proud of his land and origins.
Nicola Chiaromonte today, with the help of his friend and entrepreneur Paolo Montanaro, manages Tenute Chiaromonte which includes over 60 hectares of vineyards and centuries-old olive groves, all cultivated according to organic methods.
