Don Cosimo

Salento Primitivo

The Cantine Due Palme Don Cosimo is a bold and full-bodied red wine crafted from the Primitivo grape variety in the Salento region. It boasts a deep crimson color that hints at its rich and robust character. This wine offers a delightful balance of fruit-forward flavors with prominent notes of dark berries and a touch of spice. The tannins are firm yet elegant, providing structure to the wine without overpowering its fruity essence. Don Cosimo is known for its velvety texture and a touch of sweetness that enhances the overall drinking experience.

Region:


Puglia
Puglia

The heel of Italy's "boot," sunny Puglia (the "g" is silent), is famed for its olive oils, almonds and of course, its rich, full-bodied wines. Although dry and intensely hot in the summer, Puglia has coastlines on three sides, providing cool Mediterranean breezes to alleviate the daytime heat. Primitivo (known in the US as Zinfandel) does well here, with other popular red varieties including Sangiovese and Negroamaro. But it is not all about reds in Puglia: the local Fiano grape produces gloriously nutty, tropical-flavored white, while Falanghina makes intensely fruity wines with citrus blossom notes.
