Red wine | Puglia, Italy
Indulge in the rich tapestry of flavors that the Teanum Alta Primitivo offers, a true testament to the art of winemaking in the sun-drenched region of Puglia, Italy. This is not just a wine; it's an experience, a journey through the heart of Italian viticulture. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail by the esteemed Teanum winery, this Primitivo embodies the spirit of its origin.
The Teanum Alta Primitivo is made with 100% Primitivo grapes that comes from the Puglia region. This red wine offers a deep ruby color that hints at the bold flavors within. As you bring the glass to your nose, you're greeted with an intoxicating bouquet of aromas, a symphony of dark fruits such as ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries. These fruity notes intertwine with a subtle hint of spice, adding complexity and depth to the aromatic profile.
On the palate, this wine is a revelation. A medium-bodied structure supports a robust core of fruit flavors, balanced beautifully by smooth tannins and a refreshing acidity. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving a lasting impression of warmth and spice. The wine has spent around 6 months in the stainless steel tanks after the fermentation. The wine shines, especially if it is paired with rich, flavorful dishes. It pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, and aged cheeses. Imagine savoring a glass alongside a perfectly grilled steak, its robust flavors complementing the wine's intensity. Or, pair it with a classic Italian lasagna, where the wine's acidity cuts through the richness of the dish.
