Description

Allow me to introduce you to a wine that captures the essence of sun-drenched Southern Italy: the Doppio Passo Primitivo. This is not just another bottle of wine, it's an experience, crafted with passion and expertise by Botter, a winery that has mastered the art of producing wines with character. Hailing from the heart of Puglia, a region renowned for its rich winemaking history and ideal climate, this Primitivo is a true expression of its terroir. The Doppio Passo method, which involves a second fermentation with the skins, lends this wine an extraordinary depth of color and a luscious structure.

Imagine the scent of a warm, sun-drenched vineyard. That's what you'll find when you pour a glass of this exceptional wine. The nose is greeted by an intoxicating aroma of ripe black cherries, plums, and a subtle hint of spice that adds complexity and intrigue. The first sip is a symphony of flavors: dark fruits take center stage, followed by a soft, velvety texture that lingers on the palate. This is a dry wine, but with a beautiful fruity profile that feels round and satisfying, not at all austere. The tannins are smooth, making it incredibly easy to drink and very food-friendly.

This Primitivo has a personality all of its own, a testament to its origin and the care that has been put into its production. It is a wine that invites you to savor every sip, whether you're enjoying a quiet evening at home or celebrating with friends and family. With a moderate alcohol percentage of 13.5%, it's versatile and pairs perfectly with a variety of dishes. Think of hearty pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, grilled meats, or aged cheeses. It also pairs splendidly with robust vegetable dishes, such as eggplant parmesan or roasted peppers.

To get the most out of your Doppio Passo Primitivo, be sure to serve it at a temperature of around 18°C. This will allow all the beautiful aromas and flavors to fully unfold. A little rest time after opening, say around 15 minutes, will enhance the wine further, allowing it to breathe and soften. And although this wine is ready to be enjoyed, it is also well structured, thus it has some cellar potential. With its distinctive character, this Primitivo is a perfect choice for both the everyday wine enthusiast and the connoisseur. It brings the sun and passion of Puglia straight to your table. Don't miss the chance to experience what it means to truly taste the south of Italy.
