Azzurra Rosso 2021 from Puglia is a proud and expressive red wine, predominantly made from Primitivo (80-90%) with a touch of Negroamaro (5-20%). It has a deep ruby red colour with elegant garnet reflections. The bouquet is intense, fine and persistent, with fruity notes of morello cherry and blackberry, and fresh spicy hints like rosemary and pepper. There are tertiary aromas of chocolate and light vanilla deriving from barrel ageing. On the palate it’s warm, full, and enveloping — the tannins are noticeable yet soft, softened by alcohol and glycerine. The finish is rich and round, with excellent persistence and flavours of plum and sour cherry.

Grape variety: 80-90% Primitivo; 5-20% Negroamaro

Vinification: daily pumping over for the first week of fermentation then pumping every 2 days for the following week. Once the alcoholic fermentation is
over, the racking and soft pressing of the skins is carried out, the best conditions are set for the start of malo-lactic fermentation and, once this is completed, 2 or 3 rackings are carried out before starting to refine. Two types of wood are used for this, the 500-litre tonneau and the 6 000-litre large barrel. 

Tasting notes: deep ruby red colour, with elegant garnet hues. This wine has very fine, intense and persistent well-marked aromas, with an ample bouquet that ranges from fruity notes, especially the morello cherry and blackberry, to the fresh spicy notes typical of southern wines, such as rosemary and pepper, with a closure of tertiary or ageing scents where chocolate and light vanilla reign. The final notes are full and round. Excellent aftertaste with hints of morello cherry and plum.

Food pairing: matches meat based dishes, roasts, stews made with best cuts.

Alcohol content: 16% vol.
