If only all Primitivo was as joyful and uplifting as this. Here the grapes are fermented on the skins for a week and aged in vats until the beginning of the following spring. Bottled young and brimming with life, it is bright cherry red in the glass and heady with earthy, sweet flavours of plum, beets and iron. Pure and vibrant, it works so well alongside the kind of rustic dishes you find in Puglia’s trattorie.
