In high-altitude vineyards, the growing season for the grapes is significantly longer thanks to the moderate temperatures compared to the heat of the valley. This results in the grapes reaching a very high level of physiological ripeness and developing an exceptionally rich and complex aroma. Our two new premium wines, Terre di Montelusa Altopiano, come from such high altitudes – the Primitivo from Apulia and the Nero d\u0026#39;Avola from Sicily. The grapes for these expressive red wines are harvested by hand, gently vinified, and aged for almost a year in small oak barrels. The result is full-bodied, dense, and velvety wines in which ripe fruit and spicy oak notes combine to create a seductively nuanced interplay of aromas. A true delight from the exceptional high-altitude vineyards of southern Italy!

Only the very best Primitivo grapes go into this fabulous Riserva, whose powerful and complex bouquet is reminiscent of ripe fruits and berries. Subtle oak notes lend the wine a delicate spiciness, making it soft and full-bodied with a depth that seems endless. A masterfully crafted poem at a sensational price! Intense ruby ​​red color; on the nose, complex aromas of fruits, plums, and cherry jam with nuances of tobacco and light spice; full-bodied. On the palate, round and rich in fine tannins. Aromas of cocoa, coffee, and vanilla take center stage. Pairs very well with lamb, with its robust, characteristic flavor – whether grilled, braised, or roasted. Regional, slightly sweet and spicy dishes from Apulia are also wonderfully complemented by this Primitivo. It also works well with apricots or raisins as an oriental element, since the wine has few bitter tannins.","brand":"Botter","offers":[{"title":"2021","offer_id":52694875701584,"sku":"V02222","price":11.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"2022","offer_id":53093104910672,"sku":"V02222-2022","price":11.7,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/doppio-passo-primitivo-di-manduria-riserva-2x.webp?v=1783527168"},{"product_id":"terre-di-montelusa-primitivo","title":"Terre di Montelusa Primitivo","description":"Francesco Allegrini is a winemaker with a passion.

The 2014 vintage won gold at Mundus Vini, with Luca Maroni awarding it 92 points.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eTemperature:\u003c\/b\u003e 16–18 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eDishes:\u003c\/b\u003e Leg of lamb, grilled sausage, pecorino cheese or braised eggplant\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e \u003cb\u003eOccasion:\u003c\/b\u003e Dinner with friends, no need for a long cellar\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Conte di Campiano S.p.A.","offers":[{"title":"2022","offer_id":52695078371664,"sku":"V02230","price":9.35,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false},{"title":"2023","offer_id":52892993323344,"sku":"V02230-2023","price":9.35,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/files\/vinoscout_sessantuno__sexaginta_unus__primitivo_di_manduria_1.webp?v=1771238533"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0896\/3509\/4864\/collections\/Vinoscout_Rebsorte_Primitivo.webp?v=1770043141","url":"https:\/\/www.vinoscout.de\/en\/collections\/primitivo.oembed","provider":"Vinoscout","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
