Wild blackberry, blackcurrant and dried fig meet violet, liquorice, clove, cocoa and balsamic spice. Silky and full-bodied, with ripe tannins and vibrant acidity bringing energy to the rich fruit. The finish is long, savoury and subtly mineral, providing a fascinating contrast to the two pure Primitivo wines.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePrimitivo thrives beneath Puglia’s intense southern Italian sun, producing deeply coloured wines with abundant dark fruit, warming spice and naturally generous texture.
