Grapes: 100% Primitivo
Production area Apulia/Puglia, Salento
Vinification: The grapes used for Masso Antico 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 for 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 hand-picking 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 Masso: Antico Primitivo, with its ruby red color and its complex bouquet, is characterized by intense and fine aromas, that go from ripe fruit to spicy notes.
Food pairing: It pairs perfectly with grilled meat dishes, stew and aged cheeses.
Serving temperatures: 16° - 18° C

Always get satisfaction dealing with Sapori’Italia both with the service and wine quality. Delivery is quick and spot on, unlike many of the slap dash attitude of many courier companies. The Masso Antico Primitivo del Salento 2021, like most of their wines is an absolute delight.

I have never had a favourite red wine, but from the first taste of this Primitivo (recommended by our Italian hostess at a restaurant), I became a fan. This is the only wine I drink now and find Sapori D Italia a top notch supplier!

This has become my wife’s favorite wine. It’s a non acidic smooth wine that has a wonderful taste. I like it as well but it definitely is perfect for her palate. I highly recommend this wine.

This is a full bodied Primitivo with a luscious finish to drink now, or, if you can resist, over the next 5 to 7 years. Rich texture with a taste of blackberry and plum.
