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.

Great wine, great service

Love this wine and got it at a brilliant price. Delivery was very quick (even in the run up to Cristmas). Packaging was the best I've ever seen for a drinks delivery. Can only say you'll be very safe to order from Cheers, I know I will be doing so again.

This website is a great find!

The wine was one we knew and were so glad to be able to find it could be delivered to our door when we couldn't find it locally. Great service and a very friendly delivery person.
