CANTONOVO 2019 - ORGANIC Primitivo IGP Puglia

Cantonovo is the most authentic expression of the Murgia hills of Bari, poised between the Adriatic Sea and the Ionian Sea. From respect for nature, which characterizes an organic wine, to the vinous aromas of a persuasive red. The freshness of the red fruits conquers at the first sip. The name celebrates the cycle of nature evoked by the four seasons which give their names to the same number of chapters of the Canto Novo Dannunziano.
