Enne Rosso is crafted exclusively from Primitivo grapes grown in southern Italy’s volcanic soils, where warm days and cooling coastal breezes help achieve a perfect balance of ripeness and freshness. This family-run estate uses gentle winemaking techniques like temperature-controlled fermentation and short maturation in used barrels, resulting in a wine that’s rich and full-bodied yet smooth and approachable, with ripe dark fruit, subtle spice, and a velvety texture.

A rich, modern southern-Italian red with depth, warmth and exceptional drinkability.
Overview
Enne Rosso from Azienda Agricola Nugnes has become a favourite Italian red wine for UK drinkers thanks to its authentic southern-Italian character and modern, polished style. Crafted by a family-run estate, it delivers an expressive, balanced and wonderfully smooth profile.
Grape Variety
100% Primitivo
Primitivo is a sun-loving grape celebrated for its deep colour, ripe dark-fruit character and naturally warm, spicy profile. In southern Italy it reaches full expression, developing plush textures, generous fruit and soft tannins.
Location & Terroir
Produced in Southern Italy, where volcanic soils, steady coastal breezes and abundant Mediterranean sunshine shape the character of the fruit. Warm days allow Primitivo to ripen fully, while cooler nights protect freshness and acidity, giving the wine both richness and balance.
Winemaking
Enne Rosso is crafted with a focus on purity and elegance. Key elements include:
-
Gentle maceration to extract colour and flavour while keeping tannins soft
-
Temperature-controlled fermentation to preserve aromatics
-
Careful pressing for clean fruit expression
-
Short maturation in used barrels to round the texture without adding overt oak
The style is modern and fruit-forward but retains the depth and warmth associated with southern-Italian reds.
Aromas & Flavour Profile
Appearance
Deep ruby with purple reflections.
Nose
Black cherry, ripe blackberry, plum compote, subtle spice, dried herbs and a touch of black pepper.
Palate
Rich and smooth, with generous dark-berry flavours, soft tannins and balanced acidity. There is a gentle warmth on the finish, carrying notes of dark fruit and sweet spice. The wine is full-bodied yet remains inviting and easy to drink.

Donzella Answers
What You Should Know About This Wine
Helpful insights on serving, pairing, and what to expect from the bottle in your glass.
This wine shows deep ruby colour with purple hints and opens with aromas of black cherry, ripe blackberry, plum compote, and delicate spices like black pepper and dried herbs. On the palate, it delivers a rich and smooth experience, featuring generous dark berry flavours, soft tannins, balanced acidity, and a gentle warming finish that carries notes of sweet spice and dark fruit.
Enne Rosso’s full body, ripe dark fruit, and subtle spice harmonise beautifully with Mediterranean dishes such as slow-braised lamb with herbs, rich pasta sauces featuring tomatoes and olives, or grilled sausage with a touch of fennel. Its smooth tannins and balanced acidity also make it an excellent partner to mature cheeses typical of southern Italy.
Primitivo, a sun-loving grape native to southern Italy, particularly excels in volcanic soils with its deep colour and naturally warm, spicy character. Historically prized for its early ripening—’primitivo’ meaning ‘early’—this variety has long been central to southern Italian viticulture, producing wines with plush textures and rich fruit that express the region’s unique terroir in every bottle.
