Salento, Italy
The Primitivo grape is the pride of Salento, the sunny heel of Italy's boot. Here, where the Adriatic and Ionian Seas meet, this grape finds its perfect home. It likely arrived from Croatia, and after a difficult period in the 1990s, when many vineyards were uprooted, Primitivo is flourishing again like never before. Thanks to its intense aromas of dark fruit and a smooth finish, Primitivo is now more popular than ever!

Mooie primitivo. . Niet te zwaar maar zeer smakelijk

Meestal zijn primitivo´s erg lekker, maar deze valt mij tegen. Misschien omdat het een nog zeer jonge wijn is (2024). Weinig diepgang en een wat zure smaak. Jammer.
