A bold Italian red wine made from Primitivo in the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia.

Tasting Note

Cantine Pirovano Beatrice Primitivo 2024 is a rich, full-bodied red that delivers plenty of warmth and depth without losing its smooth edge. Deep ruby red in colour, it opens with inviting aromas of ripe plum, dark cherry and a hint of cocoa, alongside a subtle touch of leather. On the palate, this Primitivo is generous and rounded, with layers of dark fruit, a touch of sweetness and soft tannins that make it easy to enjoy. It finishes long and velvety, with a lingering richness that suits the style perfectly. A classic Puglia red wine that’s all about bold flavour and easy appeal.

Top food pairings:

• Grilled meats like steak or lamb chops
• Slow-cooked beef stews or ragù
• Hard cheeses such as aged Cheddar or Pecorino

Kate Says

"If you like your reds rich and smooth, this is a proper crowd-pleaser. It’s got that ripe, warming Primitivo style that’s hard to resist – think somewhere between a plush Shiraz and a fruit-forward Zinfandel."
