Elettra Primitivo Negroamaro is a rich and powerful wine with overwhelming aromatic complexity, capable of captivating from the very first sip. After harvest, the grapes are destemmed and gently pressed, then macerated prior to fermentation to concentrate the aromas and colour. Fermentation is carried out at controlled temperature with frequent lees stirring, followed then by ageing in oak barrels.

Food Pairing

This blend of native grapes from Puglia, Negroamaro and Primitivo, is definitely an expression of this wonderful winemaking region. Here the warm Mediterranean climate gives good ripeness, and the limited rainfall contributes to the high sugar content of wines, which make them extremely food friendly.

For a completely authentic experience, Primitivo is surely best paired with tomato-rich Italian cuisine, from the so-called “heel of the Italian boot”. However, the blend with Negroamaro makes it the perfect partner for a variety of foods, including grilled meats and strong cheeses.
