The Primitivo Salento IGT "Punta Aquila" in the 375ml format, produced by the renowned Tenuta Rubino, is an excellent example of the winemaking expertise from Puglia. Resulting from a meticulous selection of Primitivo grapes grown in the fertile soil of Salento, this wine showcases the strength and sweetness typical of the varietal, along with a refined elegance that sets it apart.

The vintage selected for this Primitivo reflects the optimal climatic conditions that promoted perfect ripening of the grapes. After harvesting, the grapes undergo maceration and controlled fermentation, followed by aging that combines time in stainless steel with a brief period in barriques, creating a wine of surprising structure and complexity.

Visually, the "Punta Aquila" presents a deep ruby red color, almost impenetrable. On the nose, intense and enveloping aromas of ripe red fruits, such as plum and cherry, are enriched by slight nuances of sweet spices and a hint of vanilla. On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and well-balanced, with soft and elegant tannins leading to a persistent and pleasantly spiced finish.

This Primitivo Salento IGT is ideal for pairing with hearty dishes, such as grilled red meats, roasts, or aged cheeses. Its complexity and intensity also make it suitable for enjoying on its own, ensuring a rich and satisfying sensory experience.

In conclusion, the Primitivo Salento IGT "Punta Aquila" from Tenuta Rubino is a wine that embodies the passion and winemaking tradition of Salento, destined to captivate wine lovers seeking quality and character in every glass.
