L'Archetipo
Primitivo Aglianico 2019

Grape varieties: Primitivo, Aglianico

Alkohol: 14%

Region: Castellaneta, Apulia

Winemaker: Francesco Valentino Dibenedetto

Near the border with Basilicata, the soils of Apulia are rich in complexity, with clay, chalk, and gravel. From these vineyards, L'Archetipo crafts beautiful wines, and this one is a blend of Primitivo and Aglianico. The former imparts a round, dark fruit character, while the latter adds structure and minerality. It has a lovely aging potential and development, yet remains very fresh, with much more to unfold in the years to come. A truly Mediterranean wine, full of elegance and precision. Best enjoyed slightly chilled at 15°C, it pairs wonderfully with heartier dishes like bean stews, or simply enjoyed on its own on a rainy day.
