Leggenda Gold Series Primitivo di Manduria DOP

A Primitivo that brings the strengths of Apulia directly into the glass: dark fruit, Mediterranean spice, and a finish that resonates.

The Fantini Group is one of the high-output houses of Southern Italy and works closely with winemakers in Apulia. The »Leggenda« comes from old vines — Vigne Vecchie — whose deep roots in the dry, sun-drenched landscape of Apulia ensure concentrated grapes. Primitivo, the main grape variety of the region, ripens early and naturally builds up high sugar levels, which gives this wine its full-bodied character.

In the glass, it shows a rich ruby red with a violet rim. On the nose, ripe cherries and blackberries, plus mint tobacco and a subtle spice. On the palate, it is dense and round, with soft tannins and a long finish that hints at cocoa and coffee.

Pairs with braised lamb, pasta with ragù, or aged Pecorino. Serving temperature: 16–18 °C.

The Winery

Vigneti del Salento

Vigneti del Salento is an Italian winery located in the Apulia region. The prevailing climate facilitates the development of the grapes through temperature fluctuations between day and night and the proximity to the sea.

In addition, the grapes partially dry out due to the intense heat, which increases their sugar content. All grapes are harvested by hand and processed into wines under the supervision of the employed winemakers. Grape varieties such as Negroamaro, Montepulciano, Primitivo, and Merlot are grown at Vigneti del Salento.
