Primum, Primitivo Red Wine

“A Primitivo from Salento to be enjoyed slowly.”

A pure Primitivo IGT Salento, from hand-picked grapes and aged in barrique: intense and enveloping, with notes of dark fruit, vanilla and spice. Made by Cantina Monsellato.

Pure Primitivo Aged in barrique 15.5% ABV

Primum is a Primitivo red wine, IGT Salento, produced in the province of Lecce, in a gently hilly area with fertile soils overlooking the Ionian Sea. It is made only from Primitivo grapes, hand-picked from vines over twenty years old.

Here the humid, windy microclimate and the fertile, clayey soil allow the vine to express itself at its best. The result is an intense, complex Primitivo from Puglia, which barrique ageing turns into a true meditation wine: one to open without hurry and enjoy in small sips.

In the glass

An intense, fascinating bouquet

🍇 Dark fruit Notes of ripe plum, black cherry and blackberry: the fruity heart of Primitivo.	🌿 Vanilla and spice The oak barrels used for barrique ageing add vanilla and spice to the wine's profile.
🍷 Soft tannins It finishes with a soft, enveloping tannic note that carries every sip without harshness.	🕯️ A meditation wine The complexity given by the oak makes it a red to enjoy slowly, even on its own, after a meal or in a quiet moment.

🌡️	Serve it at 18-20 °C: at this temperature Primum shows its bouquet of dark fruit, vanilla and spice at its best.

The producer

Cantina Monsellato

Primum comes from Cantina Monsellato, which extends over about 20 hectares of Salento land: 7 hectares of vineyards and 13 hectares of olive groves.

This Puglian Primitivo wine is born from the care with which the winery tends its land in Salento: a red that brings the authentic flavours of Puglia to your glass.

💡	From the same winery, try also the Tenuta Longhe Red Wine Primitivo IGT Salento, another pure Primitivo, and the Talùa Negroamaro Red IGT Salento if you want to discover another Salento grape.
