Double Passo Primitivo di Manduria Riserva

We knew that Puglia still offered good wines for little money. But to stumble upon a wine with such a sensational price-to-quality ratio was still a surprise. Only the very best Primitivo grapes go into this fabulous Riserva, whose powerful and complex bouquet is reminiscent of ripe fruits and berries. Subtle oak notes lend the wine a delicate spiciness, making it soft and full-bodied with a depth that seems endless. A masterfully crafted poem at a sensational price! Intense ruby ​​red color; on the nose, complex aromas of fruits, plums, and cherry jam with nuances of tobacco and light spice; full-bodied. On the palate, round and rich in fine tannins. Aromas of cocoa, coffee, and vanilla take center stage. Pairs very well with lamb, with its robust, characteristic flavor – whether grilled, braised, or roasted. Regional, slightly sweet and spicy dishes from Apulia are also wonderfully complemented by this Primitivo. It also works well with apricots or raisins as an oriental element, since the wine has few bitter tannins.
