SKU: VESRACPRI19
A collaboration between Italian TV journalist Bruno Vespa & winemaker Riccardo Cottarello, it is their passionate mission to raise the quality and critical opinion of Primitivo (and the wines of Apuglia) to be the equal to the more famous Northern cousins – Barolo, Brunello and Chianti. Their mission is to produce the best red wines South of Rome. The visual richness of the Raccontami announces a strong character and, at the same time, a velvety impact. The scent of spices and berries anticipates its great, soft drinkability.

Food Pairing

Classic pairing with boiled meats and cooked salami, but a real winner with Lasagna.

”Deep brick-red to ruby colour; the bouquet is developed and mellow and shows smoked meats, earthy/forest-floor, dried-herb and dried-fruit aromas, at a far remove from primary fruit. Glimpses of licorice and raisin. The wine is rich and full in the mouth, quite concentrated, with a subtle core of fruit-sweetness and lovely savoury tannins that are assertive but supple and ripe, smooth and rounded. Long finish, and balanced within the mellow/dry/savoury style paradigm.”
