Tasting Notes
Appearance
A deep ruby hue with brilliant clarity and rich depth, this Apulian Primitivo reflects the exceptional quality of hand-picked fruit from rare Alberello trained vines — a living testament to the ancient winemaking heritage of Apulia, Italy.
Aroma
The nose is sophisticated and layered, with rich ripe fruit and warm spice at the fore. Grape withering on the vine, encouraged by the coastal sea wind, adds further aromatic complexity, creating a bouquet that speaks eloquently of Apulia’s unique terroir and centuries-old Alberello tradition.
Palate
Full-bodied and generous, the palate delivers rich ripe fruit and subtle spice with beautifully soft tannins. Six months in French oak lends structure and elegance, with vanilla notes emerging gracefully on the finish. The result is a wine of outstanding depth and complexity, shaped by meticulous grape selection and slow, patient maturation.
Pairs With
This exceptional Apulian Primitivo is a natural companion to grilled meats, slow-roasted lamb, hearty stews, rich pasta dishes, mature cheeses, or a well-curated charcuterie board, making it equally suited to relaxed weeknight dining and special occasions alike.
