Doppio Passo Primitivo 2025 75cl

Doppio Passo Primitivo is a rich and fruit-driven red from Italy’s southern region of Puglia, the heartland of the Primitivo grape. The warm Mediterranean climate and limestone-rich soils contribute to the wine’s generous character and ripe fruit profile. Grapes are harvested in two stages first at full ripeness, then later for greater concentration creating a soft, round, and full-bodied wine bursting with flavours of plum, blackberry, cherry, and chocolate. Unoaked and medium-bodied, it combines lush fruit with gentle tannins and balanced acidity for a smooth, satisfying finish.

Production
