Cantina Sava Poggio Pasano Primitivo Puglia IGP

In the Sava area, the climate is typically Mediterranean with long, hot summers, but constantly influenced by sea breezes from two seas, which cool the vineyards. Here the area is predominantly flat and characterized by brick-red soils rich in iron oxides from the underlying limestone that give our wines great aromatic complexity.

In Cantina Sava have selected the oldest primitivo saplings and, bunch by bunch, all our grapes are handpicked and brought intact and healthy to the cellar; where they are then handed over to expert winemakers, in charge of the scrupulous vinification and aging and prepare it for a long bottle life. The strength of these wines comes from the ability to dose the three main ingredients of the Salento wine tradition: Sun, sea and passion.

Intense ruby color with violet reflections.

A full-bodied wine, round and incredibly smooth. It leans into a soft, velvety texture where the high sugar concentration masks very well the alcohol heat.

PAIRING
It goes well with savory cold cuts, grilled red meat, game, smoked and herbed cheese. But also with savory seafood dishes, such as swordfish with rosemary.
