Fola Primitivo Partially dried grapes

General Information

The Fola Primitivo Partially dried grapes is a powerful red wine, produced through the special process of partially drying the grapes before vinification, similar to the well-known Amarone technique. This process concentrates the sugars and flavors in the grapes, resulting in a rich, intensely flavorful wine. The grapes come from the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia, Italy, where the warm climate ensures optimal ripeness.

Taste Profile

This wine is characterized by a deep ruby color and an enticing bouquet of ripe red fruit, plums, and a hint of spiciness and vanilla from barrel aging. On the palate, the wine is full and smooth, with a rich texture and a long, satisfying finish where fruit and spicy notes harmoniously come together.

Serving Advice

Ideally served at a temperature of 18-20°C. This wine pairs excellently with hearty meat dishes, ripe cheeses, and is also delicious with spicy dishes.

• Rich stews
• Ripe hard cheeses
