Allow me to introduce you to a taste of the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia, Italy, with the Piccini Primitivo Puglia IGT. This isn't just another bottle of wine; it's an invitation to experience the heart and soul of a region renowned for its robust and characterful wines.
The Piccini winery, a family-owned estate with a rich history dating back to 1882, has masterfully crafted this Primitivo to capture the essence of Puglia's unique terroir. With each sip, you'll be transported to the rolling hills and ancient olive groves that define this captivating landscape.
This Primitivo is made from 100% Primitivo grapes, a varietal known for its deep color, bold flavors, and smooth tannins. The wine pours a captivating ruby red, hinting at the rich experience to come. On the nose, you'll be greeted by an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, intertwined with subtle notes of spice and Mediterranean herbs.
The palate is where this wine truly shines. A full-bodied and generous wine, it has a delicious bouquet with notes of ripe red fruit and spices. On the palate it is dry, warm, soft, of good body and quite persistent. The Primitivo presents a symphony of flavors, dominated by luscious dark fruit and a touch of cocoa. The tannins are smooth and well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the wine's natural fruitiness. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression of warmth and complexity.
This wine is a versatile companion to a wide array of dishes. Its bold character makes it an excellent match for grilled meats, such as lamb chops or sausages. It also pairs beautifully with hearty pasta dishes featuring tomato-based sauces, as well as aged cheeses and charcuterie. For a truly authentic experience, try it alongside traditional Pugliese cuisine, such as orecchiette pasta with broccoli rabe or braciole (braised beef rolls).
Serving temperature: 16°C
