It is an option for those looking for a red wine associated with Primitivo and seeking clear information about its style and origin. The available product details do not specify a vintage or tasting notes, so its aromas, structure and finish are best assessed in the glass, without assigning it unverified characteristics.

At the table, it can be served with flavourful dishes, roasted or grilled meats, legume-based preparations and medium-aged cheeses. These are pairing suggestions to adapt to the menu and personal preferences. To make the most of it, serve it in a glass suited to red wines and allow it to breathe briefly, checking the guidance on the label. Its stated identity makes it a possible choice for a relaxed dinner with friends or a Sunday meal, when you want to serve a red wine with a clearly indicated origin and a recognisable name.

Winery history

The Leone de Castris family has been active in viticulture for centuries: the company traces its origins to 1665, when it was founded by Oronzo Arcangelo Maria Francesco dei Conti di Lemos. In the 20th century the estate developed the bottling and marketing of its wines; in 1943 it launched Five Roses, recognized as the first bottled Italian rosé. Today the winery also houses a museum that tells the story of its production and family history.

Production philosophy

Awards and recognitions

Awards and scores from wine guides and competitions: for example, Five Roses Anniversario received the Tre Bicchieri, and the winery cites awards such as 'Best of Show' for Villa Santera Primitivo obtained at international competitions.
