This wine with its Freudian name is almost a rarity because it is produced only in the best years, two up until now: 2008 and 2012. Its prime ingredients are instinct and passion, then come the grapes. It is made from 100% Primitivo grapes that have rasinated on the vine and were carefully selected and picked by hand. Extreme care is also taken in the cellar: the grapes are softly pressed, macerate in oak barrels, strained by hand and age nine months in barriques and another nine in the bottle before being sent to market. The wine has a magnificent ruby-red color with exceptional consistency, very dense and almost dark. The bouquet is aristocratic and austere at the same time with aromas that open with nuances of ripe maraschino cherry jam followed by scents of aromatic herbs and sweet spices. Each sip is pure pleasure. The texture is velvety and soft and there is a perfect balance between the sugars and acidity produced by the grape.
