CARRUBO 2019 Primitivo di Manduria DOC Tormaresca

Intense and enveloping Primitivo di Manduria DOC signed Tormaresca

CARRUBO 2019 Primitivo di Manduria DOC Tormaresca is a red wine from Puglia that interprets with balance and personality one of the emblematic grape varieties of Southern Italy. It is born from a selection of Primitivo grapes grown in the Carrubo Estate, in the territory of Fragagnano, in the province of Taranto, and coherently tells the warm, generous, and deeply Mediterranean character of the denomination.

Territory and style of the wine

The wine comes from the area of Primitivo di Manduria DOC, a region historically suited to the cultivation of Primitivo. The vineyards are located about 120 meters above sea level, on calcareous and red soils, in a climatic context marked by hot summers and good temperature excursions between day and night. These conditions favor a complete ripening of the grapes and a natural concentration of the fruit, without losing freshness and aromatic definition. The 2019 vintage, regular and dry, contributed to a rich yet orderly profile, with excellent varietal expressiveness.
