Giravolta – a name with a history. This was the name of the racehorse that once galloped across the Pozzopalo stud farm and always turned round abruptly in front of the old tuff quarry. This "U-turn" gave the wine its name, but it is the terra bianca, the white earth, that characterises it. While the basic Primitivo comes from the Terra Rossa, the Giravolta grows on calcareous, white soil, created by the breaking up of limestone. The tuffy, stony composition ensures rapid water drainage, but the porous stones also store moisture for the roots.

The result: a Primitivo with a beguilingly fruity flavour – black cherries, vanilla, red berries. Nine months of ageing in French barriques lend elegance and volume. Giravolta is considered a complex, multi-layered cru. Rich in ripe plums, undergrowth, cloves, with a fresh, exciting structure and a long, spicy final without superfluous sweetness. SUPERIORE.DE

"Deep garnet red colour with slightly brightening edges. Powerful nose of overripe fruit, rum pot aromas, light spicy notes of Mediterranean herbs. Powerful on the palate, slightly full-bodied, medium length, flavours of dark chocolate with dried ripe fruit." Falstaff
