The Primitivo Puglia Organic by Masseria Borgo dei Trulli hails from the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia in Southern Italy. Made from 100% Primitivo grapes, this wine captures the essence of the region’s terroir characterized by clayey soils mixed with limestone, which is ideal for this varietal. The grapes are organically farmed, showcasing a commitment to sustainability and environmental care. Traditional winemaking methods are employed with fermentation in stainless steel tanks, followed by a brief period of aging in oak barrels to enhance its texture and add depth to the flavor profile. Known mostly in America as Zinfandel, in Italy, Primitivo is celebrated for its ripe fruit, robust character, and spicy undertones. Its production embodies the rich cultural heritage of the land, promising an authentic Italian red wine experience. This particular wine has gained attention for its quality and purity, standing out in blind tastings for its balance and expressive nature.
