Description
In a nutshell:
A stunning, big, rich, full bodied Primitivo from Salento, Puglia in the heel of Italy.
The lowdown:
M Made from southern Puglia's signature grape the 'Primitivo di Manduria' DOP produces some of the best expressions of this variety. After fermentation it's matured for 18 months in a mix of French and American oak which gives it several layers of texture. There are lots of dark, ripe, deep fruit flavours, sweet spice, vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, dark chocolate and coffee all lying within. While quite powerful it's well balanced with fine tannins and a good length.
The Producer:
In 1962, 19 vine growers from San Marzano, deep in the Puglian heel of Italy, whose families had farmed the land for generations, combined their efforts to establish Cantine San Marzano. Through the decades this co-operative has grown significantly and can now boast over 1,200 members and has a reputation for quality that has earned international renown. They are based just east of the town of Taranto in the region of Salento. The Cantine's director Mauro di Maggio is a native of this part of the world and grew up with a connection to the winery before going to work there in 2003. As a result, he knows his members well and his close working relationships with them has helped keep the quality of fruit supplied to the winery at high levels.
When to drink:
Dense and fleshy this is the perfect thing for game and red meats.
Suitable for Vegans
