This wine, made from a careful selection of 100% Primitivo grapes, captivates with its rich bouquet of ripe plum, black cherry and blackberry, enriched with vanilla and spices thanks to barrique ageing.
The vinification process, followed by 24 months of ageing in steel silos, culminates in a wine of extraordinary complexity and tannic softness.
Served at a temperature of 18-20°C, PRIMUM Primitivo Rosso enhances robust dishes and intense flavours of traditional cuisine. Its structure and depth pairs beautifully with roasts, meat dishes and mature cheeses, creating a harmony of flavours that celebrates the gastronomic richness of the region.
