This wine is perfect with:
Primitivo is a fantastic match for "Orecchiette con le Cime di Rapa" (pasta with turnip tops), where the wine's bold, fruity flavors complement the bitter greens. It’s also great with barbecued meats, where its robust profile stands up to the smoky, charred flavors.
This wine can be drunk without food
