Gianfranco Fino, "Es" Primitivo IGT 2015

Es is named in honor of Sigmund Freud, the father of psychoanalysis.  Translated from Italian, "Es" means the id, the psychological term for a component of the psyche.  According to Sigmund Freud, "Es" is defined as instinct and wild passion; a passion which does not give in to rules or compromises.  Es submits to one principle only:  pleasure.  It is the expression of primal instinct into wine. Cultivated in the maritime Agro di Manduria to utilize its unique red soils, this wine is made from 100% Primitivo. The grapes are lightly dried while still on the vine and harvested by hand at the end of August.
