2021 Masso Antico Primitivo Red Wine – 750ml Bottle

Savor the bold character of the 2021 Masso Antico Primitivo Appassito Salento IGT, a rich Italian red wine crafted in Puglia’s sun-drenched vineyards. This full-bodied Italian red wine delivers an unforgettable experience with its deep ruby hue and layered aroma. Each sip begins with ripe fruit notes—think black cherry and plum—balanced by warm spice accents like cracked pepper and a touch of nutmeg. The nose deepens with savory complexity: hints of cured meat, wild herbs, and toasted stone add earthy sophistication, while a whisper of strawberry jam sweetness softens the profile elegantly.

On the palate, velvety tannins frame a surge of dark fruit flavors, harmonized by persistent peppery undertones that linger invitingly. The finish surprises with caramelized brown sugar warmth, followed by a subtle smoky heat that lingers long after the glass is empty. Perfect for pairing with hearty dishes like grilled meats or aged cheeses, this Salento wine showcases the appassimento method—where grapes are dried to concentrate their flavors—resulting in a bold yet balanced taste that stands out among Italian reds.

Whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or exploring premium Italian wines, this Primitivo Appassito offers a masterclass in complexity and craftsmanship. Its unique blend of sweet, savory, and spicy notes makes it an ideal choice for wine enthusiasts seeking bold flavor journeys from Southern Italy’s renowned vineyards.
