About the product
Vinuva Primitivo Salento IGT is created with a focus on organically grown grapes and the warm, fruity style that has made Primitivo from Puglia popular worldwide.
Primitivo thrives exceptionally well in the warm and dry climate of Southern Italy. The many hours of sunshine help the grapes reach optimal ripeness and produce wines with concentrated fruit, roundness, and a naturally generous character.
In the glass, you get a deep ruby red wine with an intense aroma of ripe cherries and red fruits. The taste is full-bodied and juicy with soft tannins and a well-balanced freshness that ensures the ripe fruit does not become heavy.
The Vinuva series is produced by Enoitalia and focuses on organic wines made from classic Italian grape varieties. The goal here is a modern, accessible style where the character of the grape and the region stands out clearly.
About Salento
Salento is located in the southernmost part of Puglia – right down in the heel of the Italian boot. The area is surrounded by sea and characterized by long, hot, and dry summers, plenty of sun, and a strong tradition of viticulture.
Primitivo is one of Puglia's most important black grape varieties. The grape ripens relatively early and develops a characteristic taste of ripe cherries, plums, and darker berries under the warm Southern Italian conditions. The wines typically become full-bodied and fruit-forward with soft tannins and a pleasant roundness.
Salento IGT gives producers the opportunity to create modern wines while preserving the area's distinct Southern Italian character. The result is often red wines with plenty of flavor, ripe fruit, and great versatility with food.
