Get to know: Cantine Pirovano Beatrice Primitivo 2024 Puglia IGT
A bold Italian red wine made from Primitivo in the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia.
Tasting Note
Cantine Pirovano Beatrice Primitivo 2024 is a rich, full-bodied red that delivers plenty of warmth and depth without losing its smooth edge. Deep ruby red in colour, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe plum, dark cherry and a hint of cocoa, alongside a subtle touch of leather. On the palate, this Primitivo is generous and rounded, with layers of dark fruit, a touch of sweetness and soft tannins that make it easy to enjoy. It finishes long and velvety, with a lingering richness that suits the style perfectly. A classic Puglia red wine that’s all about bold flavour and easy appeal.
Top food pairings:
- Grilled meats like steak or lamb chops
- Slow-cooked beef stews or ragù
- Hard cheeses such as aged Cheddar or Pecorino
Kate Says
"If you like your reds rich and smooth, this is a proper crowd-pleaser. It’s got that ripe, warming Primitivo style that’s hard to resist – think somewhere between a plush Shiraz and a fruit-forward Zinfandel."
