Primitivo di Manduria

£19.00

Deep garnet with a violet rim, this Primitivo di Manduria from Puglia opens with an inviting bouquet of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and plum, layered with dried fig and a hint of tar. On the palate it’s lush and full-bodied, offering concentrated dark fruit framed by warm baking spices—cinnamon, clove—and a touch of smoked leather. Fine-grained tannins provide structure without harshness, while bright, balanced acidity keeps the finish lively. Subtle notes of cocoa and toasted oak add depth and a lingering savoury note reminiscent of sun-baked Mediterranean herbs. Overall, it’s a generous, well-balanced expression of Manduria’s heat-ripened fruit and rustic elegance. 2023. 15% ABV.
