Electric Bee Primitivo (75cl, 13.5%)

Electric Bee Primitivo is a 100% Primitivo red wine from Puglia, Italy, bottled at 13.5% ABV. From Produttori di Manduria, a cooperative in Manduria in the Salento sub-region, it is hand-harvested and fermented entirely in stainless steel with no oak ageing. It carries 3E certification from Equalitas and is produced with minimal added sulphites using a vegan-friendly process. The nose opens with ripe wild strawberries and blackberries over a faintly gravelly, mineral undertone, with hints of dark plum and subtle meatiness. The palate is bright and juicy with cherry and blackberry, then zingy blueberry and black plum, supported by flexible tannins and balanced acidity. The finish is medium in length with a clean, refreshing close and lingering ripe berry and a whisper of tobacco leaf.
