Wine introduction
Why this wine matters
Primitivo di Manduria is regarded as the benchmark expression of Primitivo, where the region's warm Mediterranean climate, limestone-rich soils and old Alberello vineyards produce wines of exceptional concentration and complexity.
In the glass
Deep ruby red with rich mulberry reflections, indicating excellent concentration from mature vineyards.
The bouquet opens with ripe blackberry, black cherry and mulberry before revealing layers of cinnamon, cocoa, tobacco and freshly roasted coffee.
Indigenous yeast fermentation preserves the wine's authentic varietal character, while extended skin contact builds depth and structure. Maturation in French and American oak barriques contributes notes of vanilla and sweet spice without overpowering the fruit. The palate is generous, velvety and beautifully balanced, combining concentrated dark fruit with refined tannins and vibrant freshness.
Full-bodied with silky tannins, excellent concentration and a luxurious texture.
Long and persistent with dark berries, cocoa, warm baking spices and elegant oak lingering on the palate.
