PRIMITIVO NEGROAMARO IGP SAMUEL ETO'O

Red Wine – Eto'o Salento Rosso 2023

From the exclusive "The Wine of the Champions" collection by Fabio Cordella, we present a bold and expressive red wine: the Eto'o Salento Rosso 2023. This full-bodied drop from the sun-drenched vineyards of Salento in southern Italy reflects the warmth, intensity, and clinical precision of the Cameroonian striking legend Samuel Eto'o. A powerful premium wine for moments that call for pure determination and a will to win.

Character & Style

The carefully selected cuvée of the native grape varieties Negroamaro and Primitivo masterfully captures the authentic style and generosity of Puglia.

The warm Mediterranean climate, the cooling sea breezes from the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, and the mineral-rich soils allow the grapes to ripen perfectly. The result is a wine of enormous depth, structure, and character, uniting raw power and fine balance at the highest level – determined, dynamic, and with an absolute winning mentality, just like Eto'o in the opponent's penalty area.

Tasting Notes
