Primitivo di Manduria

Protected Designation of Origin (DOP)

Red wine obtained from Primitivo grapes grown in Manduria, Puglia. Vinification involves destemming and maceration at 4-5 °C for 36 hours, fermentation at a controlled temperature, racking 6 days after fermentation ends and gentle pressing. Ageing (confirmed by Aldo) takes place for 6 months in French oak barriques, followed by 4 months in bottle. It has an intense red colour with violet reflections. On the nose it offers notes of cherry, sour cherry and delicate spices; on the palate it is soft and persistent, with balanced tannins. Ideal with grilled red meats, Mediterranean dishes with meat and aged cheeses. Serve at 18-20 °C.
