Primitivo

Organic red wine with an alcoholic character, warm, structured and rich in phenolic substances.

Its aromas of ripe red fruit and its softness have made it the most famous Apulian grape in the world.

It is obtained from Primitivo grapes, grown in a hot-arid environment and with a low charge of buds per hectare: this gives rise to grapes rich in extractive and aromatic substances which give the wine structure. The organic management of our vineyards contributes to preserving the true aromatic content of this vine.

In our cellar its vinification takes place by fully fermenting all the natural sugars of the grapes, obtaining a wine without sugary residue and therefore dry, austere, suitable to be accompanied with meals.

It gives its best with beef, pasta with robust meat sauces and eggplant parmigiana.
