Ratings & Awards,

Passitivo Primitivo is produced using only the best hand-picked
Primitivo grapes from low-yielding vineyards in Puglia. A portion of
these grapes follow a rare wine making technique called "apassimento",
whereby the grapes are dried for a brief period to concentrate their
aromas and rich fruit flavours. The resulting wine is intense ruby-red
in colour with a complex bouquet reminiscent of cherries, raspberries
and redcurrants. The partial oak-aging adds a pleasant roasted and a
spicy aroma and makes this full-bodied and supple wine, perfect with
roasted red meats and mature cheeses. This has always been one of our
most popular red wines.

enjoyed constant investment over the years and is today a modern winery
,with a capacity of 120,000 hl and a barrel room housing 1000 French and
