Primitivo
If it were a question, the Primitivo would have at least two answers: one Adriatic, the other Ionian. Two inclinations. Translating them into more or less common pleasures: the taste of reading or music at night, when the rest of the world seems under the effect of a strange spell and the secret drafting of a love letter dedicated to someone who does not suspect in the least. to be motive and inspiration.
So Salento continues to express its double personality, and this is what makes it special and seductive. Just think of the two seas, like the areas for the cultivation of Primitivo which is all in all it means a place in between and at the same time it is also the aftertaste of a clear sky, but full of the density of a time suspended at incredible heights. and depth.
Like those hourglasses full of fine sand that are between the fingers of expert players, the most elegant champions capable of expanding moments to infinity, just like an incalculable residue of time already elapsed. Or, more simply, like a portrait, a lacy postcard left as a testimony of a place. Il Primitivo: an identity wine, almost a portrait in black and white.
