2024 Primitivo Salento IGT Tumà

The Tumà offers a lighter, fresher style of Primitivo with aromas of red cherry, crushed strawberries just beginning to cook, and some lovely hints of lavender and tobacco. On the palate, the wine is decidedly medium-bodied, cinched together with a smart acidity that this variety can often lack, and the alcohol is reined in beautifully. Here you get this juicy red big-gulp of a wine that charms you with its easy-drinking poise. It’s a sunbathed wine without all the sunburn.
