Terrecarsiche1939 Primitivo Gioia del Colle Fanova 2023

Terrecarsiche1939 Primitivo Gioia del Colle Fanova 2023 is a characterful expression of Primitivo from the renowned Murgia area in Apulia, where the variety develops remarkable depth and warmth. Made exclusively from grapes grown in these vineyards, it offers a pure regional signature and a modern, fruit-driven style rooted in one of southern Italy’s most historic wine territories.

Tasting Notes
Expect a deep ruby-red wine with inviting intensity in the glass. The nose typically leans toward ripe dark berries, plum, and cherry, often accented by Mediterranean herbs, sweet spice, and a subtle earthy note that reflects its southern origin. On the palate, Primitivo is known for its generous fruit, soft texture, and round tannins, and this wine follows that profile with a plush, approachable feel. Its balance of ripeness and freshness gives it good immediate appeal, while the concentration from Murgia-grown fruit suggests it can develop nicely over the next few years.

Production
This wine is produced entirely from Primitivo grapes sourced from vineyards in the celebrated Murgia zone of Gioia del Colle, an area prized for its altitude, stony soils, and strong diurnal temperature shifts. These conditions help preserve freshness and aromatic detail in a grape variety known for power and richness, resulting in grapes with both concentration and balance. Vinification is aimed at highlighting the varietal character and regional identity of Primitivo.

Food & Serving
Serve this wine with hearty Mediterranean dishes such as grilled lamb, roasted pork, pasta with ragù, aubergine parmesan, or aged cheeses. It is best enjoyed at around 16–18°C; a short decant of 20–30 minutes can help open the aromas and soften the wine’s structure if served young.
