Primitivo Salento IGT from the Contrada line is an enveloping and structured red wine, a true expression of the sun and the red soils of Puglia. It presents an intense ruby red color with purple highlights. The aromatic bouquet is rich in ripe red fruits, such as plums and cherries, embellished with spicy notes of vanilla and cocoa. On the palate, it is warm, smooth, and velvety, with gentle tannins and a fruity persistence that makes it unmistakable. With a 13% alcohol content, it is the ideal pairing for structured dishes: roasted red meats, stews, pasta with meat sauces, and aged cheeses.
