Descrizione

The Primitivo Dolce IGP Puglia by Malicchia Mapicchia, produced by Barsento winery, stands as a unique and alluring expression of one of the most cherished grape varieties of the Apulian region. This sweet wine, with its IGP (Protected Geographical Indication), ensures adherence to strict quality standards and authentic geographical origin.

Featuring a deep ruby color that transitions into purplish hues upon inspection, the Primitivo Dolce from Barsento presents a complex and intriguing aromatic profile. Dominant notes include ripe red fruits such as plum and cherry, enriched by hints of sweet spices and a subtle touch of vanilla, the result of expert maturation.

On the palate, its entry is sweet and velvety, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity that makes it extremely enjoyable and never cloying. The tannins are soft and well-integrated, contributing to a lingering and aromatic finish, where the spicy and fruity notes detected on the nose are rediscovered.

This wine pairs beautifully with chocolate desserts, blue cheeses, or as a meditative wine at the end of a meal. It is also surprising with spicy dishes, where its natural sweetness skillfully balances the spiciness of the food.

Serve at a temperature of about 14-16°C to enhance all its qualities. The Primitivo Dolce IGP Puglia Malicchia Mapicchia by Barsento is an excellent choice for those looking to discover the opulence and generosity of Apulian sweet wines, a true gem for connoisseurs of the genre.
