Palama Primitivo Arcangelo

Cantine Palamà is a family-owned winery based in Puglia, in southern Italy, with a long history of producing wines from indigenous regional varieties. The winery focuses on expressing the warmth and Mediterranean character of the Salento peninsula through traditional grapes and approachable winemaking.

“Arcangelo” is made from Primitivo, a grape known for producing deeply coloured wines with ripe fruit flavours, soft tannins, and generous body. Puglia’s hot, dry climate and abundant sunshine allow the grapes to achieve full ripeness while coastal influences help preserve some freshness.

Fermentation is carried out in temperature-controlled tanks to maintain fruit purity, followed by ageing in oak to add texture, spice, and depth. The style is smooth, concentrated, and immediately approachable.

Cellaring & Pairings
