Doppio Passo Primitivo Rosato is a soft, wonderfully fruit-forward pink wine produced in sun-drenched Apulia, southern Italy. Building on the iconic success of the traditional Doppio Passo style, this rosé utilizes a partial double-pass technique (a second brief contact on sweet grape skins) to enhance aromatics, richness, and mouthfeel. Crafted entirely from the region's native Primitivo grape, it bridges the gap between delicate pink freshness and luscious Mediterranean fruit intensity.

Why You'll Love It

This wine stands out for its irresistible blend of vibrant summer fruit sweetness and refreshing balance. Unlike ultra-dry, pale mineral rosés, it delivers a slightly richer, more rounded palate packed with juicy berry flavours and a subtle hint of residual sweetness. Its vibrant colour, smooth texture, and expressive bouquet make it an absolute crowd-pleaser that is perfect for warm sunny days, casual entertaining, and outdoor dining.

Vineyard & Production

The fruit is harvested from mature Primitivo vines planted across the coastal plains and warm hillsides of Puglia. To achieve its signature style, the grapes are harvested in two stages: an early pick to retain crisp acidity and bright red fruit aromatics, and a later pick for rich colour and natural sweetness. The juice undergoes short skin contact at cool temperatures to extract its vibrant pink colour, followed by slow fermentation in stainless steel to preserve its delicate primary fruit profile before bottling.

Tasting Notes

Glowing a bright, alluring cherry-pink in the glass, this wine opens with a fragrant, generous nose of ripe wild strawberries, raspberries, red cherries, and pink grapefruit, with subtle floral highlights. On the palate, it is medium-bodied, silky, and delightfully fruity, offering a juicy core of ripe red berries balanced by a soft, rounded sweetness and gentle acidity. It finishes smooth, clean, and endlessly refreshing.

Perfect Pairings

With its lush fruit profile and gentle sweetness, this versatile Italian rosé is a fantastic companion to a wide range of light and spicy dishes. It pairs magnificently with antipasti, prosciutto with melon, fresh caprese salad, and grilled prawns. It is also an exceptional match for mildly spiced Asian cuisine, sushi, thin-crust Margherita pizza, and berry-based desserts or soft cheeses like ricotta and burrata.
