Red wine | Puglia
Discover the sun-drenched flavors of Puglia with Masseria Li Veli's Primitivo Puglia. This wine is a testament to the winery's dedication to crafting exceptional wines that reflect the unique terroir of this southern Italian region. Primitivo, the grape variety at the heart of this wine, thrives in Puglia's warm climate and limestone-rich soils, resulting in wines that are both powerful and elegant.
Masseria Li Veli, situated in the heart of Salento, is a modern winery with deep roots in the region's winemaking history. The estate, once an ancient feudal holding, has been revitalized by the Falvo family, who have invested in state-of-the-art winemaking facilities while respecting the traditions of the past. Their commitment to quality is evident in every bottle, as they meticulously manage their vineyards and employ sustainable practices.
The Primitivo Puglia opens with inviting aromas of ripe blackberries, plums, and a hint of sweet spice. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and velvety, with a core of dark fruit flavors complemented by notes of chocolate and licorice. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, providing structure without being aggressive. A touch of earthiness adds complexity and depth, while a vibrant acidity keeps the wine fresh and balanced.
This wine is incredibly versatile and pairs well with a wide range of dishes. Its rich fruit flavors and smooth tannins make it an excellent match for grilled meats, such as lamb chops or sausages. It also complements hearty pasta dishes with tomato-based sauces, as well as aged cheeses. For a more adventurous pairing, try it with spicy Indian or Moroccan cuisine.
Imagine yourself savoring this Primitivo alongside a traditional Pugliese dish like Orecchiette with Broccoli Rabe and Sausage. The wine's robust flavors will enhance the dish's savory notes, creating a truly unforgettable culinary experience. Whether you're enjoying it with friends and family at a casual barbecue or savoring it during a cozy dinner at home, Masseria Li Veli's Primitivo Puglia is sure to impress.
