Discover the best wines made with Primitivo as a single variety or as a blend of Locorotondo.
Powerful, sun-drenched reds with a dark robe and generous alcohol, showing aromas of stewed blackberry, stewed plum, dried fig, chocolate, gentle spice and balsamic notes. Supple tannins, indulgent finish. Star of Puglia with Primitivo di Manduria DOC, Gioia del Colle DOC and Salice Salentino. Identical to American Zinfandel and Croatian Crljenak Kaštelanski by DNA analysis.
DOC of the Valle d'Itria in southern Puglia (Locorotondo, Cisternino, Fasano), the land of trulli on free-draining limestone soils ventilated by the Adriatic. Verdeca is the signature native white (50–65%) blended with Bianco d'Alessano (35–50%): pale yellow-green, dry and delicate with lively citrus, green apple, white flowers and a mineral-almond hint, taut acidity and an elegant finish. Also in Spumante. Fiano and Bombino as complements.
