Campi Deantera, Salento Campo Minimo Primitivo Mesola delle Volpi 2022

Campi Deantera’s 2022 Campo Minimo Primitivo is a richly expressive red from Salento, shaped by the warm Mediterranean climate of southern Italy. Combining generous fruit, supple texture and an inviting freshness, it reflects the estate’s modern approach to one of Puglia’s most distinctive native grapes while remaining rooted in the region’s long winemaking tradition.

Tasting Notes
The wine displays a deep, vibrant ruby-red colour. Its bouquet is surprisingly fragrant, opening with ripe cherry and other red-fruit aromas alongside balsamic nuances and distinctly Mediterranean notes of herbs and warm spices. On the palate, it is full-bodied and rounded, with soft tannins, concentrated fruit and a harmonious balance between freshness and warming alcohol. The finish is long and persistent, leaving a pleasant impression of ripe fruit and balsamic character. It is enjoyable now, with the structure to develop further over the next few years when stored in a cool, dark cellar.

Production
The grapes are cultivated in Salento, the sun-drenched peninsula between the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, where the Mediterranean climate supports richly flavoured, full-bodied Primitivo. Vinification begins with a cold pre-fermentation maceration at 8°C for 24–48 hours, followed by temperature-controlled maceration and alcoholic fermentation for approximately 10 days at 24–26°C. After a gentle final pressing, the wine matures in stainless-steel tanks, preserving its vibrant fruit and fresh character.

Food & Serving
Its rich fruit, soft tannins and balanced freshness make this Primitivo an excellent partner for slow-cooked beef, grilled or roasted lamb, pulled pork, rich pasta dishes and mature cheeses. Serve lightly cool at approximately 16–18°C. Decanting is not essential, but a brief 20–30 minute decant can help the wine open and reveal its balsamic and Mediterranean aromas.
