SUD Primitivo di Manduria

In the region surrounding the town of San Marzano, almost at the southern tip of Puglia, lies the Feudi di San Marzano winery. Vines have been cultivated in this area for over 3,000 years, a tradition that the San Marzano cooperative respectfully honors in all its wines. This modern cooperative winery produces renowned wines from local grape varieties. The Primitivo di Manduria SUD is a prime example. Made entirely from this local grape variety, the wine undergoes a three-week, temperature-controlled maceration period before being gently pressed and then aged in French oak barrels. It rests here for four months before bottling and release. Color: deep, dark ruby ​​red, almost black, with violet reflections. Aroma: On the nose, the Primitivo boasts a very complex and fruity bouquet. Ripe red fruits such as blackberries and elderberries take center stage, accompanied by hints of cocoa and vanilla. On the palate, the wine is very powerful and full-bodied. It is rich and rich, with a beautifully lingering finish. The full aromatic complexity unfolds on the palate. In contrast to its "big brother," the "Sessantanni," this wine is drier with firmer tannins.
