L'archetipo Primitivo 2022

Brooding yet vibrant, this Primitivo from L'Archetipo captures the raw energy of southern Puglia. The fruit is dark and sun-warmed—black cherry, mulberry and plum—yet it is framed by savoury earth, dried herbs and a faint ferrous edge that keeps the wine lifted and alive. Farmed biodynamically and handled with minimal intervention, it feels both generous and grounded, with a rustic honesty that speaks clearly of place. The tannins are supple but present, guiding the wine through a long, gently spicy finish. A deeply characterful expression of Primitivo that leans toward purity rather than excess.
