Territory and wine style

This wine is born in the Agro di Manduria and Sava, in the province of Taranto, an area historically suited for Primitivo. The vineyards, trained as bush vines and with an average age of about 60 years, work on red soil and with very low yields, elements that contribute to giving concentration and territorial identity. Harvesting takes place at the end of August, with slight drying of the grapes on the vine, to achieve a rich and mature profile. In the cellar, prolonged maceration and subsequent aging in French barriques help to build a wine with a strong character, full and well-refined.

Tasting notes

Es Salento Primitivo IGT presents itself with an intense and deep color, typical of the type. On the nose, it expresses sensations of ripe red and black fruit, with warmer and spicier nuances that reflect the territory and maturation in wood. On the palate, it is enveloping, structured, and generous, with a soft texture supported by good material. The tannins are present but integrated, while the freshness balances the richness of the sip and accompanies a persistent and harmonious finish.

Recommended pairings

The richness of Es Salento Primitivo IGT makes it ideal with flavorful meat dishes, roasts, braised meats, oven-baked lamb, and game from not overly aggressive preparations. It also pairs well with aged cheeses, structured cold cuts, and dishes from more intense Mediterranean cuisine, such as pasta with ragù or hearty sauces. It is a red wine that enhances slow cooking and bold flavors.

Serving temperature

The ideal temperature to serve Es Salento Primitivo IGT is between 16 and 18°C.
