Description

Maso Antico Primitivo Puglia IGT is an ode to the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia, a region celebrated for its rich winemaking heritage. Crafted with passion and respect for tradition, this wine embodies the essence of the Primitivo grape, offering a sensory journey through the heart of southern Italy. Maso Antico winery is known for its commitment to quality and its innovative approach to winemaking, while honoring the deep-rooted traditions of the region. This Primitivo is a testament to their dedication, showcasing the unique terroir of Puglia. The Primitivo grape, known for its early ripening and intense flavors, finds its ideal expression in Puglia's warm climate. The grapes are carefully selected and undergo a process of 'couvre leggermente appassite,' meaning they are slightly dried to concentrate their flavors and sugars. The result is a wine with remarkable depth, complexity, and a smooth, velvety texture. This wine is an experience from the first glance to the lingering finish. On the nose, it unfolds a bouquet of ripe dark fruits such as blackberries and plums, intertwined with notes of sweet spices like cinnamon and vanilla. A hint of chocolate adds an extra layer of indulgence, creating an enticing aromatic profile. On the palate, Maso Antico Primitivo delights with its full body and generous flavors. The dark fruit notes are amplified, complemented by a subtle earthiness and a touch of balsamic. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing a smooth, lingering finish that leaves you wanting more. It is a versatile companion to a wide range of dishes. Its rich, fruity character pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, and aged cheeses. Try it with roasted lamb, a classic Bolognese sauce, or a selection of Pecorino and Parmesan. It's also a delightful match for chocolate desserts, enhancing the wine's decadent notes. Imagine savoring a glass of Maso Antico Primitivo on a warm evening, with the aroma of freshly grilled herbs wafting through the air. The rich flavors and smooth texture will transport you to the sun-kissed vineyards of Puglia, where the art of winemaking has been perfected over centuries. Whether you're a seasoned wine enthusiast or a curious novice, this Primitivo is sure to impress with its exceptional quality and character. It's a celebration of Italian winemaking at its finest, offering a taste of the passion and dedication that goes into every bottle.
