Primitivo Puglia IGP

Busa

A wine for protective women

Whoever, on the path of life, has lit even a torch in someone’s dark hour, has not lived in vain.
Madre Teresa di Calcutta

Our Primitivo Puglia IGP is named after the figure of Pauline Busa, who imprinted her vision during the Battle of Cannae, during which she helped wounded soldiers, offering them care and shelter in her own home.

We have been used to interpreting the concept of strength from a male perspective, often associated with war. However, women are able to see another version of strength, represented by justice, compassion, and salvation.

Primitivo is a demanding grape variety, with clusters so tightly packed that they almost seem to embrace each other, resulting in an overwhelming force.

Pauline Busa, who lived in the 3rd century B.C., was a noblewoman of Canosa di Puglia, and this wine is meant to celebrate her soul. She was recognized for her charity, thoughtfulness and generosity shown throughout her life.

Busa is obtained from 100% Primitivo grape grown on limestone-clay soil.

It ages in steel for 4/6 months on fine lees and for 2 months in bottle.

The grape harvest takes place in late August/early September.

Busa shows a bright ruby red color. On the nose, there are graceful and delicate aromas of ripe small red fruits such as strawberry and red currant, along with subtle hints of tea leaf and karkadè. On the palate, the red fruits are prominent, and despite its warmth, it is balanced by a pleasant freshness that makes it easy to drink.

We recommend pairing this wine with local dishes such as: cicerchie soup, Roasted sausage with turnip tops, lamb with herbs, Apulian canestrato.
