Perippò is a powerful pure Perricone wine suitable for every occasion. Perricone vine has been neglected in favour of other native and non-native black grape vine varieties for years but nowadays the situation has reversed.
Perippò production involves a hand-harvesting which is carried out over the last part of September. Maceration and fermentation steps require at least 15 days at approximately 25 degrees; followed by the maturation taking 6 months in steel tanks and an other 3/6 months in the bottle. This red wine discloses an enveloping bouquet rich in red fruit, mixed with the typical note of liquorice expressed by perricone vine. This Caruso&Minini’s label reports borage flowers to define the perfect synthesis between tradition and modernity.
