Cantine Due Palme is one of the most successful co-operatives in southern Italy – founded in 1989 in Cellino San Marco, the cooperative now has over 1,200 members and around 3,000 hectares of vineyards between Brindisi, Lecce and Taranto. Under the management of Angelo Maci, Due Palme has developed into a pioneer of sustainable quality production, combining state-of-the-art cellar technology with traditional cultivation methods such as Alberello Pugliese. Don Cosimo epitomises the sun-drenched power of Salento. The Primitivo grapes ripen on calcareous, loamy soils that store sufficient water even in very hot weather. After a gentle harvest in mid-September, the grapes ferment at a controlled temperature in horizontal rotary fermenters before the wine matures for six months in French barriques and then comes to rest in the bottle.

It has an intense ruby red colour with purple hues in the glass. The bouquet reveals ripe wild berries, blackberries and figs, as well as spicy notes of cinnamon, cloves and white pepper, underpinned by delicate chocolate and vanilla tones. On the palate, Don Cosimo is velvety and full-bodied, with soft tannins and a fruity, light acidity – a harmonious Primitivo full of character with the typical warmth of Apulia. SUPERIORE.DE
