Pillastro Primitivo Puglia 2023
Pillastro is one of our bestselling Italian reds from Puglia's Salento region, in Italy's deep south, best known for big reds made from the prized local variety Primitivo. This wine comes from Angelo Maci, a hero in the region for standing up to the big guns and championing the small grower.
He started the cellar over 30 years ago with 15 growers. Now there are over 1,000 and he knows them all by name. It's not only growers he saves, but the ancient traditions and almost-extinct grape varieties that make these wines so rich, characterful and super-charged.
A leading figure in the quality revolution, Angelo has crafted this rich, powerful red. Expect bold spiced plum and raspberry notes with velvety texture. A great match to spicy tomato pasta, grilled meats or hearty stews.
