Pietrafinita

Salento Primitivo 100%

Feudi di Guagnano Pietrafinita is a truly delightful Primitivo sourced exclusively from the enchanting region of Salento in southern Italy. This wine is a testament to the area's rich winemaking tradition, displaying a luscious deep red hue that's immediately inviting. The wine is full-bodied with a captivating fruit-forward profile that showcases the beautiful ripeness and complexity of the Primitivo grape. You’ll find its fruit intensity to be a harmonious blend of dark cherries, plums, and blackcurrants, accented by notes of spice and a touch of earthiness, which adds to its depth. The acidity is perfectly balanced, offering a mouthwatering experience with every sip. The tannins are robust yet well-integrated, providing structure without overpowering the palate. Feudi di Guagnano Pietrafinita captures the essence of Salento’s sun-soaked vineyards and artisanal winemaking, making it a splendid choice for anyone seeking an exceptional Italian red.

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.
