Territory and wine style

Production takes place in Manduria, in a symbolic area of Primitivo di Manduria, where the favorable climate and farming tradition contribute to defining a rich and sunny style. The grapes come from vineyards trained as bush vines, with very low yields and manual harvesting in crates. The wine is born in particular dry vintages, when it is possible to extend the drying process until the first days of October. This method imparts concentration, complexity, and a natural sweet imprint that recalls the memory of festive wines and important celebrations.

Tasting notes

In the glass, it presents a very concentrated ruby color, almost impenetrable, and a dense and intense visual texture. On the nose, mature and deep aromas of dried figs, black cherry, blackberry, plum, and jam emerge, with a rich and enveloping aromatic component. On the palate, it impresses with fullness and alcohol content, supported by pronounced softness but well balanced by acidity and mature tannins. The sip is continuous, progressively increasing in intensity, and concludes with a long finish, rich in fruity and persistent sensations.
