WINE DESCRIPTION
Il Pumo Primitivo is a red wine produced by the renowned Italian winery, Masseria Altemura. It comes from the Salento region in Puglia, which is known for its warm climate and fertile soil. The vineyards are located near the sea, which provides a unique microclimate that allows the grapes to ripen slowly and develop complex flavors. The winemaking process involves a careful selection of the best grapes, which are then fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve their freshness and fruitiness. The resulting wine is full-bodied and rich, with notes of black cherry, plum, and spices. It is a perfect match for grilled meats, pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.
