Castello Monaci Primitivo Salento Pilùna 2024

Please login to see prices.
Pilùna is a monovarietal Primitivo. Our estate is a few kilometres outside the Primitivo di Manduria DOC zone, so Pilùna falls under the IGT Salento regulations. The name Primitivo derives from the Italian for “first native”, since this is the first black grape variety to be ready for harvesting. The name Pilùna denotes the ancient tuffstone containers used to preserve olive oil and wine.
Castello Monaci Primitivo Salento Pilùna is dark purply-red colour. Generous aromas of ripe red fruit (plums and cherries), black and morello cherry jam, blending into floral notes of violets, and spicy hints of pepper and vanilla with Mediterranean scrubland. On the palate it is velvety and richly extracted, warm, with well-judged tannin, good structure, and a nicely lingering flavour with hints of red berry jam and liquorice.
