From vineyard to bottle

The origin, grapes and craftsmanship behind this wine.

What a refined wine this Quota 29 Primitivo is, made by the Menhir Salento winery in Italy. This red wine is made exclusively from Primitivo grapes, sourced from Salento. Menhir Salento boasts a unique vineyard, situated at an altitude of only 29 meters above sea level. Hence the name Quota 29 on the label. The low-lying vineyard has many wonderful qualities, such as the Primitivo receiving ample sunshine and cool sea breezes. The low-lying location allows the roots to easily absorb moisture, making them well-suited to the hot summers that Salento can experience.

Maturation is very gradual and gentle, giving the Primitivo grapes plenty of time to develop and mature. At perfect ripeness, the grapes are harvested rigorously and by hand. Only the finest Primitivo bunches make it into the bottle. Due to its incredibly high quality, oak aging is not necessary. According to the winemaker, it's pure nature, and you can taste the beautiful, classic style of the Primitivo grape.

A juicy wine that impresses with its flavor and aroma. The use of Primitivo gives it a full and creamy texture. The nose reveals aromas of cherries and blackberries, along with beautiful nuances of currants, plums, cocoa, vanilla, and a touch of pepper. After experiencing these delights, we can't wait to taste this Quota 29 Primitivo; a rich flavor and a smooth mouthfeel complete the experience. Beautifully soft tannins and abundant black fruit give this Quota 29 Primitivo its beautiful character. This red wine also pairs wonderfully with dishes such as charcuterie, roast lamb, chicken dishes, and, of course, Italian pasta.
