Area: Puglia/ Apulia

Grape Variety: Primitivo

Vinification: The grapes used for Boccantino Primitivo are grown using the vine training method known as “Alberello”, which has ancient origins and is typical of the Mediterranean area of Italy. It was developed to compensate the lack of water and the very hot climate. The now very rare Alberello system represents a very important part of the cultural and oenological heritage of Apulia. The rigorous handpicking is followed by a meticulous selection of the destemmed grapes. The grape withering on plants, favored by the sea wind, and a slow maturation in French oak barrels for about 6 months results in an outstanding full-bodied wine with soft tannins that release vanilla notes in the finish.
Description: Boccantino Primitivo, with its ruby red color and its complex bouquet, is characterized by intense and fine aromas that go from mature fruit to spicy notes.
Food Pairing: It pairs perfectly with grilled meat dishes, stew and aged cheeses.

  1. Allan Ching (verified owner) –

    This is very nice Italian wine, very sensibly priced.
    Sapori D’Italia were very easy to order through, and delivery was very prompt.
    Will use them again.

    Delicious

  6. Daniel K. (verified owner) –

    The his has become my favorite wine! I sometimes get flush from the sulfites in wine, or heartburn from the more acidic wines. This one does not do that. It’s very smooth and quite tasteful. Highly recommend this wine.

  7. Brett Burton (verified owner) –

    One of the most flavoursome bottles of red wine I have ever had the pleasure of drinking

  8. Daniel (verified owner) –

    My favorite wine! Great taste, great aftertaste, and low acidity. I get red faced from wine with too high of sulfite but I have no problem with this wine. Highly recommend it.
