Calidea Primitivo 2023

• Region: Puglia
• Sub-Region: Salento

Vineyard Sourced from warm southern vineyards in Salento, where abundant sunshine and well-drained soils allow Primitivo to ripen fully and develop its hallmark richness. The growing conditions encourage generous fruit concentration while maintaining a soft, rounded structure.

Wine A bold and fruit-driven red with ripe blackberry, plum, and sweet spice aromas. The palate is plush and warming, with velvety texture, soft tannins, and a smooth finish that makes it especially crowd-pleasing.
