Primitivo Puglia Doppio Passo 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

The Doppio Passo technique involves a two-stage harvest: part of the grapes are picked at peak ripeness, while the remainder are left to mature further on the vine. This process enhances flavour concentration and texture. The wine is vinified unoaked to retain the natural fruit purity and varietal character of Primitivo.
