The roots of this Rosato are deep in tradition

Primitivo is one of Southern Italy's oldest and most distinctive grape varieties, its origins lost in Puglia and Dalmatia, where it has been cultivated since Roman times. Its name derives from its early ripening, "primitive" compared to other varieties in the same area. Traditionally vinified as a red wine and renowned for the great, full-bodied wines of Manduria and Gioia del Colle, Primitivo in its natural rosé versions reveals a fresh and lively soul, perfect for contemporary conviviality. Birbante interprets this rebellious and gentle spirit, in a natural winemaking process that restores the grape's full expressive candor.

The reflection is luminous and captivating, almost inviting the drinker to an unconventional tasting experience.
 
 
 

Olfactory Examination

The nose opens with a surprising progression: the initial impact is pungent and slightly provocative, with saline and mineral notes reminiscent of sea breezes. Allowing the wine to breathe in the glass reveals aromas of fresh fruit—white peach, wild strawberries, ripe citrus—and floral notes of wild rose and peach blossom. The finish reveals delicate herbaceous notes and a savory, almost iodine-like nuance, once again evoking Primitivo's coastal origins.
 
 
 

Taste Examination

On the palate, it confirms the "mischievous" character that gives the wine its name: the attack is lively, with a sharp acidity and a pronounced, slightly pungent flavor that immediately invites a second sip. The finish is fruity and juicy, with hints of peach, white melon, and a pleasant note of red fruit. The structure is light yet well-defined, with a surprisingly rich balance for a rosé. The finish is dry, slightly edgy, with a medium length that immediately calls for another sip. A wine that changes with every sip, evolving in the glass and offering a changing sensation typical of artisanal natural wines.

Excellent with Mediterranean seafood cuisineSpaghetti with clams, linguine with seafood, baked sea bass with herbs, grilled octopus, salt-baked prawns.
