Primitivo Puglia IGT - Mezzogiorno

The Primitivo Puglia from Mezzogiorno from Apulia presents a bright, ruby red color in the swirled glass. This single-varietal Italian wine reveals wonderfully fragrant notes of roses in the glass. There are also hints of cloves and smokiness.

This red from Mezzogiorno is ideal for all wine connoisseurs who like as little sweetness as possible in their wine. However, it is never sparse or brittle, as you would naturally expect from a wine above the 4 euro mark. The texture of this well-balanced red wine is wonderfully dense on the palate. Thanks to the moderate fruit acidity, the Primitivo Puglia flatters the palate with a pleasing sensation without lacking freshness. On the finish, this youthful red wine from the Apulia wine-growing region finally delights with its beautiful length. There are again hints of rose.

Vinification of the Primitivo Puglia from Mezzogiorno

The basis for the balanced Primitivo Puglia from Apulia are grapes from the Primitivo grape variety. After harvesting, the grapes are transported to the winery as quickly as possible. Here they are selected and carefully broken up. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. At the end of fermentation, the Primitivo Puglia can continue to harmonize on the fine lees for a few months.

Dining recommendation for the Primitivo Puglia from Mezzogiorno

Ideally enjoy this organic red wine from Italy at a temperature of 15 - 18°C with red onions stuffed with couscous and apricots, lemon-chilli chicken with bulgur or spicy curry with lamb.
