VINTAGE
The 2024 winegrowing season in Puglia was marked by a hot, dry summer leading to an early harvest, especially for white grapes, starting as early as July. While drought and heat challenged the vines, the grapes remained healthy, with good acidity, excellent color, low alcohol, and solid structure. The vintage is described as having an “old style” feel, reminiscent of past vintages with slower ripening, offering wines with balance and freshness, despite the heat. Regional variations were noted.

Primitivo Cabernet
Puglia IGT
The wine is notably restrained, especially in terms of alcohol, which the Tommasi family, owners of the estate, believes is key to making balanced wines in Puglia. The premium fruit required for making this wine is obtained as a result of strict clonal selection, modern vine training systems, and severe pruning, in order to produce a small amount of high quality wines with respect for terroir and tradition.
Primitivo
Puglia IGT
This wine is made from 100% Primitivo, the indigenous and most well-known grape in Puglia. Though appreciated for its high alcohol in the past, wines made from Primitivo are now more elegant: as the case with this one, it is pleasantly fruity with hints of cherry and raspberry. Depending on the soil type, Primitivo can also contain spicy notes, and demonstrate notes of baking spice, licorice, and even hints of chocolate. Aging for 10 months in oak softens the excessive tannins which sometimes emerge in a young wine.
