Territory and wine style

This Primitivo di Manduria DOP comes from very old vineyards selected in the municipalities of San Marzano and Sava, in a classic area of the denomination. The red soils, rich in iron oxides, with a calcareous substrate and sparse rocky outcrops, contribute to defining a wine with a deep and generous character. The warm climate, low rainfall, and strong temperature variations favor a complete ripening of the grapes, an element that reflects in the full and concentrated style of the wine.

The finish is long and persistent, with notes of cocoa, coffee, and vanilla that underline its aromatic richness.
