About the wine
ES in the Freudian sense is instinct and passion. The same is needed to produce this wine, without rules and conditions, without logic or morals. IT is subject to only one principle: joy. This is how Gianfranco Fino describes his wine, which really seems to go beyond the scope of the conventional. And indeed: with its vines sown wild in the mountain and over 50 years old, a unique Primitivo of unheard-of density is produced here, a type of nature-concentrated wine with, depending on the vintage, between 16.5% and 18% alcohol. Modern breeding yeasts would surrender to such irrepressible force long ago, but Gianfranco has his wine fermented with wild yeasts that have always been native to this vineyard and have apparently entered into a symbiotic relationship with the ancient vines. Until recently, Gianfranco Fino took care of Apulian olive oil in particular. But when, as a professional olive consultant, he discovered a tiny vineyard in the Manduria a few years ago, with Primitivo sticks from the first half of the last century and in the best exposure, the desire for his own wine grew in him. Today, IT is one of the most incredible things that are produced entirely by hand in southern Italy. Not for every day, but a beguiling conclusion after a big meal and in good company!
