History
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.
Regional Information
This wine comes from Puglia's Salento Peninsula, in the Leverano area
Current Vintage
2020
Vinification Details
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.

OK Prim: Changed with vintage.
It's not a 2020 as described it's 2022. The wine has changed, not quite as good as was, but OK. The alcohol concentration (now 14%) has dropped slightly possibly reflecting a change in vinification over the years, or maybe the grapes were just not as ripe, still, for me it's lost a bit of it's depth and flavour.

My favourite "go-to" wine.
I don't think I've had ever had a bad Primitivo and this is no exception. Savoury, fruity and well balanced. I always make sure I have a couple of bottles in the rack!
