Boccantino Primitivo Salento IGT Appassito is a rich, expressive red wine that exemplifies the depth and character of Southern Italy’s Salento region.

Vineyard and Terroir
The grapes are grown in the warm, sun-drenched vineyards of Salento, where the Mediterranean climate and well-drained soils help produce intensely flavoured fruit.

Viticulture
The grapes are partially dried using the Appassimento method, concentrating sugars and flavours while retaining natural acidity. Hand-harvesting ensures only the ripest bunches are selected.

Winemaking
After fermentation, the wine is aged for six months in French oak barrels, allowing the rich aromas and flavours to integrate and develop complexity. The Appassimento process, combined with oak maturation, results in a wine with depth, structure, and a luxurious texture.

Tasting Notes
The wine has a deep ruby colour and a complex nose of mature red fruits, chocolate, and warm spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and richly textured, with flavours of spiced plums, dried fruits, and subtle cocoa notes. The wine is smooth, balanced, and lingering, with a touch of natural sweetness that complements the ripe fruit character.

Food Pairing
Perfect with roasted meats, hearty stews, mature cheeses, or as an indulgent accompaniment to chocolate desserts.
