The versatile Conte di Campiano winery, founded in 1930, continues to amaze with its wines. They produce a wide variety of wines from purchased and selected grapes grown in Sicily, Apulia, and even the southern Po Valley. While the company initially focused primarily on sparkling wines, they now offer a wide range of still wines. Not only are the quality exceptionally high, but the wines are also available at very attractive prices.
This flavorful red wine is made from high-quality Primitivo and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. The grapes are harvested entirely by hand in the Puglia region, in the area around Manduria in southern Italy. The vineyards stretch across the hills surrounding the coast, enjoying an excellent climate that allows them to ripen perfectly. In the winery, maceration begins on the skins to enhance color and aroma extraction. The wine is then aged in steel tanks for 4 to 6 months.
The Cabernet Primitivo shines ruby red in the glass with occasional orange hues. Upon pouring, a delightful fruity aroma immediately greets you, with notes of ripe fruit and cherries. These aromas are complemented by soft tobacco notes. This red wine is beautifully balanced with a perfect structure and supple, soft tannins. The finish is slightly cherry-like, a lovely culmination of the exquisite flavor.
