Primitivo means Apulia, because it represents it in all its aspects. By combining the old traditions of this noble vine with a highly advanced technology, Spiavento has focused on this wine, thanks to the results obtained before. Primitivo is one of the best Italian products both in Italy and in the rest of the world. Its taste captures both the most experienced palates and the occasional drinkers , making it one of the most commonly drunk wines. Primitivo in northern Puglia compared to that in southern Salento is characterized by a more elegant and refined taste, softer tannic structure, and higher acidity. It exhibits notes of fresh dark fruits such as cherries and plums, delicate aromas with hints of spices like black pepper and cinnamon.
