Wine introduction
Overview
A rich, expressive Primitivo from Cerignola in Puglia, combining ripe red fruit, vanilla and clove with balanced acidity, rounded tannins and a generous, structured finish.
Posta Piana Primitivo 2020 is a 100% Primitivo Puglia IGP produced by Cantine Paradiso from vineyards around Cerignola in southern Italy. Grown on limestone-clay soils and harvested towards the end of August, the wine captures the warmth and fruit concentration associated with Puglia. Twelve months of maturation in barriques contribute vanilla and spice to its ripe red-fruit character. The result is a generous, structured red with balanced acidity and well-integrated tannins.
Why this wine matters
Posta Piana Primitivo reflects Cantine Paradiso's connection to the vineyards of Cerignola in northern Puglia. Produced entirely from Primitivo grown on limestone-clay soils, it combines the grape's natural richness with acidity and tannic structure. The estate's emphasis on traditional Puglian food pairing makes it particularly suited to robust meat dishes, cured meats and mature cheeses.
