Product Details
Description
A vibrant and youthful expression of Primitivo, Tempo al Vino Lianto is a fresh, fruit-forward red that offers all the luscious fruit and spice you’d expect from this beloved Puglian grape, but in a lighter, more playful style. Deep ruby red in colour, it bursts with aromas of ripe red cherries, plums, and a touch of black pepper, leading into a smooth, juicy palate filled with bright fruit flavours and soft, approachable tannins. An easy-drinking yet characterful Primitivo, perfect for any occasion.
History and Winemaking
Produced using ancient winemaking techniques, Tempo al Vino takes a low-intervention approach to crafting this expressive Primitivo. By carefully preserving the natural vibrancy of the fruit, the winemakers create a style that is fresher and more fruit-driven compared to heavier, more traditional Primitivos. Sourced from sun-drenched vineyards in Puglia, the grapes develop rich flavours while maintaining a lively acidity, resulting in a wine that is both flavourful and effortlessly drinkable.
Tasting Notes
Aromas of juicy red cherries, ripe plums, and a hint of black pepper spice, with subtle floral notes. The palate is bright and fruit-forward, featuring layers of fresh berry fruit, gentle spice, and soft tannins, leading to a smooth, lingering finish.
Pairings
A versatile and food-friendly Primitivo, this wine pairs beautifully with pasta dishes, charcuterie, wood-fired pizzas, and grilled meats. Its bright fruit and smooth tannins also make it a great match for herb-roasted vegetables, mild cheeses, and tomato-based Mediterranean dishes.
