Our first Montepulciano!🍷🏰

This is the wine I’ve always wanted to make: the Primo Estate Montepulciano.

I first tasted Montepulciano at a festa in Le Marche, my grandfather Primo’s homeland in Italy. It was poured into glass tumblers with smoky arrosticini lamb skewers - rustic, joyful, and unforgettable.

Years later, I discovered Rosso Conero - the bold, oak-aged Montepulciano style that Le Marche is famous for. That glass changed how I saw the grape: earthy and relaxed, but capable of real elegance and depth.

That moment sparked this wine.

Finally, in 2023 we found a small parcel of fruit in McLaren Vale with the right balance. Fermented in concrete, aged in seasoned oak - a nod to the traditional Conero style.

The result?

A medium-bodied red with plum, black cherry, and a hint of violet. Notes of dried thyme and rosemary add a savoury edge. Bright, savoury, and made for food - especially grilled meats.
