A fragrant and pretty take on primitivo with dried lavender and violets highlighting a backdrop of dried blackberries and dried oranges. There’s a punch of powerful, ripe tannins to puncture the ripe forest fruit and drive home this full-bodied yet balanced red to a chewy finish. Drink from 2021
Leone de Castris is back on track with this very successful Rosso Primitivo Salento IGT, Villa Santera. Intense red, full-bodied, very suggestive. The nose is a dance of red fruit and hints of spice, with clear, accentuated notes of vanilla. The mouthfeel is ample and soft, with a pleasantly persistent flavour. Leone de Castris' Villa Santera Rosso Primitivo Salento IGT is aged for a minimum of 3 months in casks - and you can taste it.Precisely because of the aromatic qualities it inherits from the wood, it is best served with dishes of a certain intensity, with strong flavours: it is at its best with grilled meats and mature cheeses. Dedicated to those looking for purebred Pugliese wines, rich in inspiration and great character.
Leone de Castris boasts very ancient origins, so much so that in order to trace back the year of its foundation it is necessary to go back through time to 1665. In Salice Salentino, in the heart of Salento, Leone de Castris began trading wine with the United States at the end of the nineteenth century, making clear his desire to break out of patterns and clichés and reach far away. The actual bottling began in 1925, and a few years later came the Five Roses, the first Rosé to be bottled in Italy. A good alchemy of tradition and the search for new paths, Leone de Castris is a small jewel of Puglia to keep an eye on, a producer of those bottles that you just have to uncork to change the mood of the evening.
