If you like your reds big, plush, and a little bit indulgent, this one’s for you. Masca del Tacco’s Old Vines Primitivo is classic Puglia — rich black fruit, cocoa, spice, and that smooth, warming finish that keeps you going back for another sip. And at this discounted price, it’s hard not to.

Primitivo “Old Vines” from Masca del Tacco is a rich, velvety southern Italian red from Puglia, delivering everything lovers of the style expect — warmth, generosity, and plenty of character. Sourced from old vineyards, it gains natural concentration and depth, with smaller berries producing deeper colour and greater complexity.

In the glass, expect layers of ripe black fruit, sweet spice, and hints of cocoa and vanilla, carried by a smooth, warming palate with a fresh, balanced finish. It’s a generous yet composed wine that feels right at home on cool evenings and alongside hearty, slow-cooked dishes.

Indulgent, expressive, and deeply satisfying — this is Primitivo at its best.

Winery notes (2023 Vintage)
"Intense and bright ruby red. Complex nose of black berries and plum jam, red flowers, humus, cocoa powder, mint and iron. Full-bodied and enveloping, creamy and smooth, fruity with a very long balsamic and fruity persistence."
