Down in the heel of Italy's boot, the Puglia region is famous for producing wines bathed in glorious Mediterranean sunshine. This brilliant regional release from Pasqua is a fantastic example of why the Primitivo grape has become such a massive favourite for the everyday wine drinker. Because it is an IGT classification rather than a heavier Manduria style, it trades overwhelming weight and heavy oak for pure, incredibly approachable fruit. Vibrant, ruby-red in colour the aromas are all about generous, dark fruits - think plump blackberries, dark cherries, and a gentle dusting of sweet baking spices. On the palate, this everyday Primitivo is beautifully smooth and wonderfully rounded. The tannins are incredibly soft, allowing those jammy fruit flavours to take centre stage before finishing with a subtle, warming hint of vanilla. This is a highly versatile wine that does not demand a complicated meal to be enjoyed. It is brilliant to sip on its own after a long day, but it truly shines when poured alongside comforting favourites such as a classic pepperoni pizza, a rich tomato-based pasta dish, or a hearty weekend barbecue.
