Marco Calleo, a producer dedicated to crafting wines that showcase the character of Puglia, brings you a Rosato that is both refreshing and expressive.

This Primitivo Rosato displays a beautiful pale pink hue that hints at the vibrant flavors within. On the nose, it offers enticing aromas of fresh strawberries, raspberries, and a subtle floral note. The palate is crisp and dry, with a lively acidity that balances the ripe fruit flavors. A touch of minerality adds complexity and length to the finish, making it a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

Its dry style makes it a great match for slightly salty or spicy dishes. Its refreshing profile will cut through the richness of creamy sauces, without overwhelming delicate flavors.
