Region of Origin
Dionysio is crafted from Primitivo grapes grown in the sun-soaked vineyards of Puglia, a region in southern Italy known for its warm Mediterranean climate. The region is famous for producing robust, full-bodied wines that are rich in flavor and character. Puglia's unique terroir, with its limestone and clay soils, imparts a special depth to the wines, making them some of the most exciting in Italy.
The Primitivo Grapes
Primitivo, the key grape variety in Dionysio, is one of Italy’s most celebrated red grapes. Known for its intense flavors and high alcohol content, Primitivo produces wines that are full-bodied, with a balance of sweet fruit and savory spice. It is often compared to Zinfandel, its American counterpart, though it has its own distinct character. The combination of warm, dry conditions and the skillful hands of the winemaker results in a wine of depth and power.
