Primitivo Riserva

Red garnet in color. The nose is elengant with hints of ripe red fruit, such as cherry and blackberry. In the mouth is full-bodied, round and structured with persistent spicy notes and firm tannins.

Primitivo di Manduria DOC “”Riserva”” is an extraordinary wine with an outstanding concentration of colour, structure and aromas of ripe red fruit, as well as a spicy and rich finish given by the long aging in oak barrels.
Particularly appreciated for the high concentration and might of its grapes, its quality and its capability to age.
Produced only in the best vintages in small quantities, this is an authentic Italian Southern experience.
