Primitivo Puglia IGT - Terre di Montelusa

The Terre di Montelusa Primitivo Puglia is a first-class red wine. It offers a wonderfully bright, purple-red color.

This dry red wine from Terre di Montelusa is for wine lovers who like it absolutely dry. The Primitivo Puglia comes very close to this, as it was vinified with just 4.8 grams of residual sugar. On the palate, this balanced red wine is characterized by an incredibly silky texture. Thanks to the balanced fruit acidity, the Primitivo Puglia flatters the palate with a pleasing sensation without lacking in juicy liveliness. The finish of this mature red wine from the wine-growing region of Apulia impresses with a good aftertaste.
