Primi Soli

2011 Puglia Primitivo

Cielo Primi Soli is a captivating red wine made from the Primitivo grape, hailing from the sun-soaked region of Puglia in Italy. This 2011 vintage offers an enchanting experience with its rich ruby hue that catches the light beautifully. On the palate, it showcases a full-bodied structure paired with a pleasant richness, making it a delightful choice for those who savor more robust wines. The acidity is lively and bright, perfectly balancing the wine's fruit intensity, which presents generous notes of dark fruit, particularly luscious blackberry and ripe plum. Additionally, the tannins are firm yet well-integrated, providing a solid backbone without overwhelming the overall flavor profile. This wine is crafted in a dry style, enhancing its versatility and making it a superb match for hearty dishes. Ideal for both casual gatherings and elegant dinners, Cielo Primi Soli invites you to indulge in the essence of Puglia's winemaking heritage.

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.
