About this product
Dry, Medium Bodied style of PrimitivoMade from a strict selection of grapes - exclusively of the Primitivo variety, from unique vineyards that maintain the quality of its indigenous cultivar whilst opening itself up to international taste. The name Sasseo (meaning stony) was chosen to recall the uniqueness, sunniness and strength of the terroir that has produced this wine. Good body with a soft and warm mouth-filling flavour, supported by sweet tannins. An ideal wine to accompany roasted red meat dishes or roast lamb.

Vintage 2017

The 2017 vintage of this Primitivo from Puglia is as thick and rich as ever, and, perhaps, even a little more under control than usual. The fruit sweetness is a little less but the flavour intensity and density remain the same.The wine impresses with roasted root vegetable, ferrous notes, rich and ripe plum, prune, black cherry and Christmas cake flavours, all held in check without being too sweet, as mentioned. It's destined to be enjoyed with roast or grilled meat with all the trimmings and delicious pan juices. There's no shortage of flavour. Enjoy.
