Method & Production
The vineyards for this Primitivo are very close to the little town of Manduria in Puglia. They are south-facing and enjoy a very hot, mediterranean climate. The primitivo grapes are grown on bush vines, ripen early and are handpicked in early September. Fermentation is carefully controlled using a submerged cap system in order to extract delicate tannins and varietal fruit characteristics. Maceration lasts for 12-15 days at controlled temperatures not exceeding 28 ° C. Alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation in stainless steel. Maturation on the lees for 3 months prior to release.
Tasting Notes
This Primitivo di Manduria is an intense purple color which tends towards garnet with age. Inky and full-bodied, with great tannic, alcoholic and acidic structure balanced by luscious, fresh dark fruits, this is a gorgeous wine which is incredibly moreish and boasts a long, satisfying finish.
Food Matching
Great wine for roasted and grilled meats and ideal with game dishes. Alo pairs beautifully with mature, hard cheeses.
