The Doppio Passo Primitivo Salento IGT 2024 is a powerful Primitivo from Apulia with a strong character that authentically reflects the sun-drenched landscape of Salento. Produced by the traditional Casa Vinicola Carlo Botter, this Italian red wine stands for modern cellar technology combined with regional identity. As a classic Primitivo Salento IGT, it epitomises the typicality of southern Italy and impresses with its substance, expression and reliable quality. At 13.5%, this red wine from Italy is harmoniously structured and versatile.


The eponymous Doppio Passo method is based on a double harvest of the Primitivo grapes. One part of the grapes is harvested at optimum ripeness, while a second part remains on the vine for longer. This later harvest ensures a natural concentration and gives the wine more body and depth. This special vinification creates a balanced Primitivo 2024 that combines strength and elegance and is ideal both as a food companion and as a soloist. The 2024 vintage is particularly round and accessible and emphasises Carlo Botter's signature as a reliable force in the field of high-quality IGT red wines from Apulia.
