Salento Primitivo IGT red wine

Salento Primitivo is a characteristically deep red wine originating from the Salento region in Puglia, located in the 'heel' of Italy's boot. This specific product is produced by Botter S.p.A., a major Italian wine exporter that specializes in sourcing and bottling wines from across the country's most renowned viticultural regions.

The wine is crafted using Primitivo grapes, known for their early ripening and high sugar content, resulting in a full-bodied profile with notes of dark fruits and spices. While the wine itself is deeply rooted in Italian tradition, the brand is part of a global portfolio under the ownership of Argea, a leading group in the Italian wine industry. Argea was formed through the integration of several historic brands and is backed by the private equity firm Clessidra, ensuring its position as a major player in international markets, including Germany where it is distributed by Eggers Sohn.
