Li Veli Primitivo Salento Orion IGT

by Li Veli · Salice Salentino DOC and Salento IGT, Puglia, Italy

Red • Primitivo • 14% ABV

Li Veli's Orion Primitivo showcases why this southern Italian grape (the genetic twin of Zinfandel) thrives in the sun-drenched vineyards of Puglia's Salento peninsula. Named after the constellation, this IGT-classified red certainly shines brightly in the glass.

What makes this bottle special is its perfect balance between power and drinkability. It's got all that sun-baked richness you expect from Primitivo, but with a freshness and structure that keeps it from becoming heavy or jammy.

Li Veli has mastered the art of creating wines that honor their traditional roots while appealing to modern palates. The result is a wine that delivers impressive concentration and character without the high price tag of more famous Italian regions.

It's the perfect choice when you want something bold and satisfying that still speaks clearly of its Mediterranean origins.
