De Angeli Primitivo Puglia IGT 2025

Producer – De Angeli Vini

De Angeli Vini is an Italian wine brand with family roots in winemaking. According to the producer, the family’s story began in 1963, when founder Fabio Bergamo planted his first vineyards in Casale sul Sile, Treviso.

Today, De Angeli offers wines from several important Italian regions. Moreover, the company focuses on careful grape selection, quality control and wines that remain true to their regional character. Its range includes wines from Veneto, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Sicily and Puglia.

De Angeli Primitivo Puglia IGT – Rich Southern Italian Red

The De Angeli Primitivo Puglia IGT is a full-flavoured red wine made from 100% Primitivo grown in Puglia, southern Italy.

Primitivo naturally produces generous wines with ripe fruit and good structure. Moreover, De Angeli uses several days of skin contact to extract colour and body from the grapes. As a result, the wine delivers a rich and approachable expression of this classic Puglian variety.

Grape Variety

100% Primitivo

Primitivo is one of Puglia’s signature red grape varieties. It produces deeply coloured wines with generous fruit, warmth and a smooth texture.

Vinification & Maturation

The producer gives clear information about the winemaking process.

After harvest, the winery destems the grapes. Next, the fruit undergoes 7–8 days of maceration to extract colour and structure.

Vinification

• Harvested and destemmed grapes
• 7–8 days of maceration
• Alcoholic fermentation in stainless steel
• Malolactic fermentation in stainless steel
• Controlled fermentation temperature of 25–27°C

The official producer information does not specify oak maturation or a separate ageing period. Therefore, I would not add barrel ageing to the Urbanbee page.
