Ratings & Awards,

Passitivo Primitivo is produced using only the best hand-picked
Primitivo grapes from low-yielding vineyards in Puglia. A portion of
these grapes follow a rare wine making technique called "apassimento",
whereby the grapes are dried for a brief period to concentrate their
aromas and rich fruit flavours. The resulting wine is intense ruby-red
in colour with a complex bouquet reminiscent of cherries, raspberries
and redcurrants. The partial oak-aging adds a pleasant roasted and a
spicy aroma and makes this full-bodied and supple wine, perfect with
roasted red meats and mature cheeses. This has always been one of our
most popular red wines.

Bang for your buck

Bursting with classic rich flavours, loads of depth and as good as some of the Amerones about (but for a great deal less cost!)

A Good Red Wine

Has the same characteristic of another Primitivo I like; open the bottle fresh and there is a full hard flavour of currants and fruits. let it breath of a while and the flavour mellows out a bit and becomes easier to drink. Retains it's flavour for hours without going sour which is another plus.

Cherry Chocolate Heaven

This drop is positively delicious and has cherry chocolate notes but not too sweet. Delivery is well packed, secure and speedy.
