Information
Primitivo di Manduria is a red wine from the Puglia region of southern Italy, made from the Primitivo grape variety. It is known for its rich, full-bodied, and fruity character, with intense aromas of dark berries, plums, and cherries, along with hints of spices and vanilla. Primitivo di Manduria is often aged in oak barrels, which adds complexity to the wine and gives it a smooth and velvety texture. It pairs well with hearty dishes such as grilled meats, stews, and pasta with rich tomato sauce.
Fun facts
Primitivo di Manduria's name originates from the Latin word "primitivus," meaning "early ripening," reflecting the grape's tendency to ripen early in the growing season. This characteristic contributes to the wine's full-bodied and fruit-forward profile, with ripe dark fruit flavors often accompanied by hints of baking spices and chocolate.
