Coppi
Coppi produces Primitivo from Puglia, the sun-baked region of southern Italy where this dark-skinned grape reaches full ripeness and power. The winery's portfolio centers on this varietal in three expressions: Vanitoso Primitivo Riserva, Senatore Primitivo, and Don Antonio Primitivo. Primitivo thrives in Puglia's heat and limestone soils, yielding wines of deep color, ripe dark fruit, and structured tannins. Wine Enthusiast and Wine Spectator have rated Coppi's releases, with Vanitoso Primitivo Riserva earning particular recognition among the three. The winery's focus on single-varietal Primitivo reflects both the region's viticultural strengths and a deliberate stylistic commitment to showcasing what the grape expresses across different vineyard selections and aging protocols.
