Auguri dalla Puglia
2 bottles of Puglia’s famous Primitivo wine married to 5 delicious and authentic Puglian food specialities.
"Pizzicanto" Rosato Primitivo Salento IGT
The exclusive Pizzicanto line of wines produced with passion in Torricella offers a superbly-balanced rosé: Salento IGT Primitivo Rosato. Delicate, like a cool breeze that caresses flowers in full bloom, joining a vibrant dance with the rosy petals. The Primitivo Rosato is the quintessence of territorial inspiration, a perfect synthesis of the scents and flavours of Salento. Light and refreshing, it amazes with hints of honey and blackberries, for a breadth of flavours that gracefully embraces sensations of refined elegance. Surrendering to such a sweet pleasure is the best that can happen to the wine enthusiast: the sensuality of Salento is a guide and inspiration for anyone who wants to experience a sincere, Mediterranean and delicately passionate Puglia.
Pizzicanto plays a game of glances: the Salento IGT Primitivo Rosato reveals itself in the glass, wearing a bright, intense and brilliant pink. The bouquet collects and enhances the olfactory notes characteristic of the territory, with delicate floral expressions and sugary notes of fruit. Tasting holds true to the character of Primitivo, proudly structured in body and changeable in the sinuous dimension of its aromas; sustained by a particularly accentuated fruity vein, it closes with a long and fragrant finish.
