Wine Description:
Castello Monaci Primitivo Salento Pilùna is a premium red wine produced by Castello Monaci, a renowned winery located in the Salento region of Italy. The wine is made from Primitivo grapes grown in the vineyards surrounding the castle, which benefit from the warm Mediterranean climate and the mineral-rich soil. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the grapes, followed by a long maceration and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a full-bodied and complex wine with intense aromas of black fruit, spices, and vanilla. The wine is characterized by its rich and velvety texture, balanced acidity, and long finish, making it a perfect pairing for grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
