Colpasso Primitivo

Primitivo has been grown in the region of Puglia, the heel of Italy's boot, for hundreds of years. Colpasso Primitivo is the perfect combination of local tradition and modern wine-making, being robust at the same time as smooth and silky. Rich in fruit, with a certain "savoury" feel, Colpasso Primitivo has an abundance of ripe, dark berry flavours and is the perfect accompaniment to rich, meaty pasta dishes.

Please drink responsibly: The UK Chief Medical Officers recommend adults do not regularly drink more than 14 units per week

Primitivo is grown in Puglia, also known as the 'heel' of Italy, and it is one of the most planted grapes in the Italian peninsula. Our Winemaker Stefano Chioccioli insist on an early harvest to keep the fruitiness of this wine and avoid a high level of alcohol. This enables us to get a perfect balance between the medium body and the perfect softness of the fruits.

Stefano Chioccioli

The grapes, transported in small containers, are very softly destemmed and the skins left intact. Fermentation at a controlled temperature of 22-24C, with frequent pumping over the must in order to get the best colour, bouquet and soft tannins. After the malolactic the wine is kept on its fine lees until the end of February/March.
