Wine preparation: A large portion of the cultivated types of vine is allotted to the traditional Primitivo grape. For the Doppio Passo a half of the shoots becomes reaped and traditionally vinified in the second or third decade. The rest matures at the vine another 3-4 weeks. As soon as the fermentation is completed the "ripassare" (another procedure) is carried out with the Primitivo harvested in August. This second fermentation helps the wine to get more intensity, fullness and character.
