Puglia, Italy — 100% Primitivo
Ripe aromas of black cherry, plum, and baked blackberry are layered with sweet spice, cocoa, and a hint of vanilla. The palate is generous and warming, showing plush dark fruit, soft tannins, and a smooth, rounded mouthfeel that finishes long and savoury. Rich but approachable, this pairs beautifully with slow-cooked beef, braised lamb, tomato-based pastas, BBQ ribs, or aged cheeses where the wine’s ripe fruit and gentle spice can really shine.
Primitivo thrives in Manduria’s hot Mediterranean climate and iron-rich soils, producing naturally full-bodied wines with generous fruit and soft structure. Genetically identical to Zinfandel, Primitivo here expresses a distinctly Italian warmth and depth.
