Masseria Altemura Sasseo Primitivo Salento

Sasseo (pronounced Sah-say-oh) is a whimsical name. It is derived from the Italian word sasso, meaning stone; this name refers to the abundance of limestone in the area, which creates a reflective quality in the vineyards.This accessible Primitivo shows a mild concentration of cherry and raspberry flavors on the palate, with medium-grained tannins and bright acidity providing a solid frame. Spice and toast accents lend a bit of complexity to an otherwise straightforward yet enjoyable wine
