Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOC

Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria DOC
Wine has been cultivated in Puglia, around the small town of San Marzano , not far from Lake Pappadai, for almost 3000 years. Primitivo Sessantanni is an excellent example of this. Made entirely from 60-year-old vines of this local grape variety, the wine undergoes a three-week maceration period before being aged in small wooden barrels for 12 months before bottling.
Color: deep, dark ruby red, almost black with violet reflections. On the nose, the Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria reveals a high degree of complexity, with multifaceted aromas of ripe black berries and cherries paired with spices and hints of licorice and vanilla. The taste is full-bodied with great juiciness and seemingly endless depth.
Simply a "high-quality wine".
