Description

This is part of our Italian Wines Collection.

Bright Puglian Primitivo with ripe cherry, strawberry and delicate floral notes.

A fruit-forward Primitivo from Puglia with a fresher, more elegant profile than the grape’s richest styles. Fermentation on the skins is followed by five months in stainless steel and a short period in bottle, preserving the wine’s vivid fruit and floral character. Generous yet approachable, it is an easy partner for everyday Italian food.

Tasting Notes: Intense ruby red with violet reflections. Floral hints of rosehip and geranium lead to ripe cherry and strawberry on the palate.

Food Pairing: Ideal with pasta, pizza, grilled vegetables, chicken and red meats.

ABV: 13.5%

Grape Blend: Primitivo 100%

Region: Puglia

Azienda Agricola Frisino Francesco is a Puglian producer working with regional grapes including Verdeca, Primitivo and Negroamaro. The Legami range highlights these varieties in a fresh, contemporary style

Puglia

Puglia is a region of Italy on the southern coast, known as the ‘heel’ of the ‘boot’ of Italy. Visitors can enjoy a piece of everything in Puglia from the Baroque streets in ‘The Florence in the South’ Lecce to the longest coastline in Italy and the unique stone-built, hobbit-style Trullo huts in Alberobello.

This is all dominated by the region’s most treasured source of income, olives. Puglia produces 40% of Italy’s olive oil, making it one of the largest in the world. This oil is used on pastas that are native to the region such as orechiette (little ears) which get their name from their distinctive shape. Orechiette is used in dishes such as orecchiette alle cime di rapa, a simple pasta that combines olive oil, pecorino and cime di rapa (a relative of the humble broccoli).

The most widely grown wine grape in the region is Negroamaro – literally ‘black bitter’. It is hardly grown outside the region and is used to produce some of Puglian’s best wines like Salice Salentino. Primitivo is also a very popular variety, producing rich, high alcohol red wines.
