Red wine | Puglia
Indulge in the rich tapestry of flavors offered by the Masseria Borgo dei Trulli Lucale Primitivo Appassimento, a captivating red wine hailing from the sun-drenched region of Puglia, Italy. This wine is crafted from the Primitivo grape, a varietal celebrated for its bold character and juicy profile. What sets this wine apart is its 'appassimento' technique: grapes are partially dried before fermentation. This process concentrates the flavors, intensifies the aromas, and adds a velvety texture to the wine.
From the first swirl, you'll be greeted by an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberries, juicy cherries, and a hint of vanilla spice. The palate is equally enchanting with a luxurious body, supple tannins, and an intricate mix of fruit and spice notes. The Appassimento style gives the wine an approachable profile and a sweet mouthfeel. It's like a gentle kiss from the Italian sun, warming you from the inside out.
Masseria Borgo dei Trulli, the producer of this exquisite wine, is a family-owned estate deeply rooted in the traditions of Puglia. They marry traditional techniques with modern winemaking, creating wines that are both authentic and expressive of the region. Their dedication to quality is evident in each sip of the Lucale Primitivo Appassimento. The wine does not need to rest and can be served immediately at a temperature of 18 °C. This wine is an excellent accompaniment to a variety of dishes. Its robust character pairs seamlessly with hearty meats such as lamb, pork, or game. For a delightful Italian pairing, try it alongside pasta dishes with rich, tomato-based sauces or aged cheeses. Alternatively, savor its complex flavors on its own, allowing it to transport you to the heart of Puglia. The Lucale Primitivo Appassimento is an adventure in every glass – inviting, comforting and a fantastic addition to any dinner party or celebration.
