Firm, upright reds with precise acidity and angular tannins, showing aromas of sour cherry, plum, dried herbs, leather, black tea and balsamic notes. Characteristically bitter, savoury finish. Star of Chianti Classico DOCG, Brunello di Montalcino DOCG, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano DOCG and Morellino di Scansano. Italy's most planted variety, a descendant of Ciliegiolo × Calabrese di Montenuovo.
Puglian IGT in the central plateau around Minervino Murge and Bari, limestone Murge plateau, hot Mediterranean climate with cool nights. Primitivo as the signature red (historic cradle of the variety at Gioia del Colle): dense and sun-drenched with intense black cherry, plum, jammy blackberry, liquorice and sweet spice, rounded tannins and generous flesh. Full-bodied Negroamaro and firm Uva di Troia as red complements. Falanghina and Fiano as aromatic whites.
