Rocca Estate Primitivo Salento IGT 2023 is a richly inviting red wine from Puglia, Italy, made to showcase the warmth and character of the southern Mediterranean vineyards.

On the palate, this wine offers a satisfyingly dry, well-structured profile with a velvety texture that makes every sip feel effortless. Expect concentrated fruit expression balanced by gentle, savoury depth, creating a deliciously confident finish that’s perfect for weeknight dinners or a relaxed weekend gathering. Serve slightly chilled for maximum freshness, and enjoy it alongside grilled meats, pasta with rich sauces or herby Italian dishes. If you’re exploring the Rocca Estate range, this Primitivo is an easy choice for anyone who loves expressive, comfortingly smooth red wine.

Italy
The ancient Greeks called Italy "Oenotria" meaning wine land and its inhabitants are today as passionate about their wines as ever. Hand in hand with this passion goes an intense commitment to local styles and local grape varietes, of which there are said to be more than 500. Yes 500 different varieties! As a result, Italy produces a wider, more fascinating range of individual, characterful wines than anywhere else in the world. And over the last two decades in particular, Italy's very finest wines have improved out of sight and their star is still on the rise. If anyone is going to truly challenge the famous names of France for supremacy in the battle for the hearts and minds of wine collectors the world over, it's the Italians. Bordeaux, Burgundy and Rhone look out. Here comes Tuscany, Piedmont and Puglia!
Puglia
In terms of terroir, Puglia has a formidable array of natural tools to help encourage prolific vine growth. The hot Mediterranean climate, persistent sunshine and occasional sea breezes make for a near-perfect environment for viticulture. The region’s geology shows a bias towards cretaceous limestone under layers of iron-rich quaternary deposits, most visible in the soils around the Colline Joniche Tarantine hills and near Martina Franca and Locorotondo in the Itria Valley.
Now the area has begun to shake off its reputation for flat, highly alcoholic blending wines, Puglia has an opportunity to seduce the wine world with concentrated, inky reds to rival the best from Australia and South America.
