Red wine | Puglia, Italy
The Doppio Passo Primitivo Puglia 2024 is a testament to the sun-drenched beauty of Southern Italy. Crafted by the renowned Casa Vinicola Carlo Botter, this wine embodies the 'amore vino' philosophy—a celebration of life’s simple, authentic pleasures. The name 'Doppio Passo' refers to its unique production process, which draws inspiration from the Ripasso method; a portion of the grapes is harvested later, and the wine undergoes a double fermentation on the skins, imparting its signature depth, intensity, and velvety richness. In the glass, it presents a deep, captivating ruby-red color. The nose is immediately greeted by an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberries, succulent plums, and cherries, layered with sophisticated hints of cocoa and warm Mediterranean spices. On the palate, it is exceptionally smooth and full-bodied, balancing a fine, fruit-forward sweetness with well-integrated tannins. Its approachable character and crowd-pleasing profile make it the perfect companion for a wide variety of occasions. Whether you are hosting a casual pizza night, preparing a hearty pasta dish with a rich tomato sauce, or serving roasted red meats and mature cheeses, this wine elevates the experience with its warmth and structure. It is a reliable, high-quality choice that captures the vibrant spirit of Apulia in every sip. With an excellent balance between acidity and fruit, it offers a long, lingering finish that leaves a lasting impression of dark forest fruits. Perfectly suited for those who appreciate a bold yet incredibly drinkable red, the Doppio Passo Primitivo is not just a bottle of wine—it is an invitation to slow down, share a meal with friends, and enjoy the authentic taste of Italy.
