Our reviews:

Primitivo

The Primitivo Vecchia Torre is a wine that embodies the passion and tradition of Apulian viticulture. Originating from some municipalities in the province of Lecce, this wine is made entirely from Primitivo grapes, a varietal that finds its ideal habitat in Puglia.
The harvest takes place in a period that varies based on climatic conditions, followed by meticulous fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The subsequent aging occurs in various types of containers, which include both steel and wood, depending on the production philosophy of the winery.
Visually, the wine presents itself with an intense, almost impenetrable red color, which foreshadows an equally rich aromatic bouquet. On the nose, the Primitivo Vecchia Torre offers a complex and enveloping olfactory profile, with notes of ripe red fruits, spices, and hints of tobacco and vanilla. On the palate, the structure is powerful yet balanced, with soft tannins that integrate well with a pleasant acidity and highlighted minerality.
This wine is remarkable for its well-constructed structure and the balance between aromatic and taste components. It is a wine that can be appreciated both in the short term and over the long term, thanks to its ability to evolve and mature over time. It pairs splendidly with robust and flavorful dishes, such as grilled red meats, game, and aged cheeses.

What is special about Primitivo Salento IGP 2020 - Vecchia Torre ?

The fruity and enveloping red wines are born from grapes harvested at full ripeness, with medium-long macerations at controlled temperatures to extract color and softness without excess tannin. Malolactic fermentation softens the acidity, while the refinement often takes place in used wood or steel, to preserve the fruit and obtain a silky and warm texture.
