Salento Primitivo

The Tenute Girolamo Edizione Limitata Vendemmia Tardiva is an exquisite Primitivo hailing from the picturesque Salento region of Italy. This red wine captivates with its rich and full-bodied character, embodying the essence of the terroir.

The wine’s acidity is bright and invigorating, providing a refreshing lift that beautifully balances its bold profile. Its tannins are structured yet velvety, contributing to a harmonious mouthfeel that enhances the overall experience. As a late harvest expression, this wine offers a luscious sweetness while remaining elegantly dry, making it a sophisticated choice for those seeking a refined and memorable 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.
