Primitivo Puglia IGT - Mezzogiorno

The Primitivo Puglia from the pen of Mezzogiorno in Apulia presents a bright, ruby-red color in the swirled glass. This varietal Italian wine reveals wonderfully fragrant notes of roses in the glass. In addition, there are hints of cloves and smokiness.

This red wine from Mezzogiorno is ideal for all wine lovers who prefer as little sweetness in wine as possible. At the same time, it never appears lean or austere, as one might naturally expect from a wine beyond the 4-euro mark. On the palate, the texture of this well-balanced red wine is wonderfully dense. Thanks to the moderate acidity, the Primitivo Puglia caresses the palate with a pleasing mouthfeel without lacking in freshness. On the finish, this youthful red wine from the wine-growing region of Apulia delights with lovely length. Once again, hints of rose appear.
