Made primarily from Primitivo and complemented by other local varieties, it combines ripe fruit, warm spice and a velvety texture with the generous character for which southern Italian wines are known.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe wine shows an intense ruby-red colour. Its nose is rich and inviting, revealing aromas of ripe red and dark fruit alongside hints of spice. On the palate, it is smooth and velvety, with generous fruit, balanced structure and a rounded, satisfying finish. It is approachable in its youth and best enjoyed over the next few years, while its concentration allows it to develop additional softness with short-term cellaring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Primitivo grapes come from the area around Manduria, where Puglia’s warm Mediterranean climate supports full ripening and richly flavoured fruit. After destemming and gentle pressing, the wine undergoes an eight-day maceration at a controlled temperature of approximately 25°C. Part of the wine is matured in epoxy-lined concrete tanks, while the remainder is aged in oak barrels, bringing together freshness, fruit expression and subtle woody complexity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFood \u0026amp; Serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eServe this full-bodied Primitivo at around 16–18°C. Its ripe fruit and supple structure make it a natural match for grilled or braised red meats, hearty pasta dishes, slow-cooked stews, sausages and mature hard cheeses. Decanting is not essential for the 2023 vintage, but a short airing of 20–30 minutes can help open up its fruit and spice aromas.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe background supplied for this wine refers to the historic Conti Zecca family, who moved from Naples to Puglia in the 15th century and have produced wine on the estate ever since.
