The Chocolate Tube Primitivo Puglia IGT
Primitivo from Apulia, which does not bear its name without reason: six months of aging in heavily toasted barrique barrels leave an unmistakable chocolate note that runs through the entire wine.
Mare Magnum from Apulia builds on the strengths of this southern Italian sun-drenched region — fully ripe Primitivo grapes with natural fruit sweetness and a powerful structure. The intensive toasting of the barrels enhances the dark character of the wine and gives it its unmistakable pull.
Deep ruby red in the glass. On the nose, dark chocolate, cherry liqueur and a hint of roasted cocoa bean. On the palate, soft and round, with sweet, ripe tannins and a long, warm finish with a mocha note.
Serving temperature 16–18 °C. Pairs well with game goulash, aged Pecorino or a dark chocolate dessert. For those who like it uncomplicated: also very drinkable on its own in the evening. Drink now — no long cellar time necessary.

Quick answers
How does the Chocolate Tube Primitivo taste?
Soft and round on the palate, with ripe, sweet tannins and a long finish with a mocha note. On the nose, dark chocolate, cherry liqueur, and roasted cocoa bean — the result of six months of aging in heavily toasted barrique barrels.
Is the wine dry or does it have residual sweetness?
It is vinified dry. The perceived sweetness comes from the fully ripe Primitivo grapes and the soft tannins — not from residual sugar.
What does the Chocolate Tube Primitivo pair best with?
Classically with game goulash or aged Pecorino. For those who like it sweet: a dark chocolate dessert works well. Pure in the evening, it needs no accompaniment.
At what temperature should I serve it?
Best at 16–18 °C. Served too warm, it loses structure; too cold, the tannins seem hard. Take out of the cellar shortly before pouring or 20–30 minutes out of the fridge.
How long is the wine shelf-stable after opening?
Well-sealed, it keeps for two to three days. Because of the high alcohol content (14.5% vol.) and the barrique structure, it loses fruit less quickly than lighter red wines.
Is there chocolate in the Chocolate Tube Primitivo?
No. The wine contains no chocolate. The Primitivo from Apulia gets its chocolate tone from six months of aging in heavily toasted barrique barrels. The name alludes to this flavor.

Find the right wine faster – with our picks
You can now find the right wine faster. Above the wines in every category there is one row that brings it all together: Our picks, Occasion, Goes with, Wine style, Filters and Sort by.
- Our picks. The "Our picks" button comes first. Choose "Great value" to see wines that deliver more than their price suggests. Some of them have been recognised by Falstaff and other critics for exactly that, the others we have picked for you.
- Super Tuscans. On the Tuscany page, "Our picks" also takes you to the red cult wines that deliberately broke with the old appellation rules: Tignanello, Ornellaia, Sassicaia, Le Volte, Guado al Tasso and many more, from the first step up to large formats.
- One tap, one choice. Tap "Occasion", "Goes with" or "Wine style" and pick what you are looking for, such as "Aperitif & spritz" or "Fish". The button then shows what is currently selected.
- Everything at a glance. Whatever you have selected appears right below. Tap the cross to remove it, or "Clear all" to remove everything at once.
- Always at hand on your phone. The row stays at the top while you scroll, so you can change filters and sorting without scrolling back up.
- Bought before. When you are logged in, the "Bought before" switch shows which wines in the category you have already bought from us, online or in the shop. Handy when you want to find a favourite again.
