Red wine | Puglia, Italy
Discover the soul of Southern Italy with the Tiati Black Primitivo from Cantine Teanum, a winery deeply rooted in the historic 'Teanum Apulum' region of Puglia. This wine is a masterful expression of the Primitivo grape, crafted to deliver both intensity and elegance. Upon pouring, you are greeted with a deep, intense ruby-red color that promises a bold experience. The nose is immediately captivating, revealing complex layers of ripe black fruit—such as blackberry and plum—intertwined with enticing notes of vanilla, warm spice, and a delicate balsamic lift derived from its careful maturation in French oak barrels. On the palate, this wine strikes an exquisite balance; it is impressively full-bodied and rich, yet possesses a remarkable softness and roundness that makes it incredibly approachable. The natural fruit sweetness of the Primitivo is perfectly moderated by fine, integrated tannins, leading to a long, warming finish accented by hints of dark chocolate and Mediterranean spice.
