Product Notes

Cantele Primitivo Puglia IGP wine hails from Southern Italy’s famed Puglian region. Possessing a rich ruby hue, it delivers an intense medley of dark fruit, wild berries, and lush spice. The palette is entranced by robust flavours, accented with hints of toasted almond and cocoa nibs. Despite this complexity, it maintains great freshness and balance. Harvested from old vineyards, this Primitivo is aged in French oak for twelve months, enhancing its velvety texture. Perfect for pairing with red meat dishes or mature cheeses, it truly encapsulates the vibrant spirit of Puglia’s sun-soaked vineyards. An exuberant expression of Italian viticulture.

Tasting Notes

Colour - Ruby red with delicate garnet undertones. Nose - The minerality of the nose creates a delicate combination of morello and sour cherry and prune. Floral and spicy notes follow in a superbly persistent finish. Palate - Gentle tannins, impressive acidity combine with the classic delicacy and alcoholic content of Primitivo in the flavours of this once forceful but now elegant and noble wine.
