La Signora

Salento Primitivo

The Morella La Signora is a luscious Primitivo that hails from the Salento region. This red wine embodies a full body with a pronounced fruit intensity that evokes images of sun-kissed vineyards and rich, ripe grapes. Its acidity is bright and lively, perfectly complementing the prominent fruit flavors. The tannins are firm yet inviting, adding structure to the wine without overwhelming the palate. The dryness level on this Primitivo is perfectly balanced, enhancing its rich, complex character.

Region:

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.
