This wine opens with intense aromas of blackberries, dark cherries, and plum, layered with hints of warm spices, cocoa, and a touch of vanilla. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a smooth texture and balanced tannins, leading to a long and rich finish. Perfect for pairing with hearty dishes, this Primitivo reflects the warmth and vibrancy of southern Italy.

Recipe

Bombette di Maiale (Serves 4)

Bombette di Maiale are small pork rolls stuffed with cheese and herbs, popular in Apulia. These tender, flavourful bites are perfect for grilling.

Ingredients:

  • 500g thin pork slices (like pork shoulder or loin)
  • 150g provolone cheese, cut into small cubes
  • Fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for brushing

Instructions:

  1. Stuff the Pork: Lay out each pork slice, season with salt and pepper, add a few pieces of provolone, and sprinkle with parsley. Roll up and secure with a toothpick.
  2. Grill: Brush with olive oil and grill over medium-high heat until cooked through and lightly charred, about 10–12 minutes.
  3. Serve: Remove toothpicks and serve hot.
