Dark, impenetrable ruby red.
Explodes with sweet, ripe dark fruits—specifically blueberry, plum jam, and black cherry (amarena).
Extremely soft and round. Unlike the Montepulciano (which has some acidity), this wine is smoother with very low acidity and sweet, velvety tannins.
16°C – 18°C
Primitivo is a "comfort wine" that pairs best with spicy food, BBQ, and rich, savory dishes. Its fruitiness works very well with the intense flavors of Southern Italian cuisine.
