Our Primitivo red wine from Salento is made from 100% Primitivo grapes, grown under the warm Salento sun. It is a deep ruby red with hints of garnet in the light, and it smells of ripe fruit, red fruit, spice and tobacco.
Primitivo is known around the world for its firm structure and strong character. On the palate this one is soft and fresh, with noticeable tannins that give it structure and body. It is 14% vol., full-bodied and rich, yet still easy to drink.
How it is made
The wine is made by traditional methods, and the grapes are picked at the right moment. Yields are between 70 and 80 quintals per hectare. The grapes ferment at 20-22°C for 36-48 hours and then have a soft pressing. The wine matures in stainless steel for at least seven months, then spends three months in barriques.
The Salento IGT classification means the grapes come from vineyards within the Salento area, a region known for its Primitivo grapes.
How to serve it
Serve it at 18°C. It goes well with grilled meat and other red meats, mature cheeses and mushroom dishes, and it is also a good wine to sip on its own or with friends.
It will age for 3-4 years, during which its flavours and aromas continue to develop, so it suits anyone who likes a mature red.
