San Marzano Provanni Primitivo di Manduria 2018 - 0.75l
The "Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria 2018" comes from San Marzano and is characterized by grapes from very old vines that thrive on the region's characteristic red soil. These conditions lead to very low yields, which are often accompanied by outstanding quality. Careful hand-picking ensures that only the best grapes are selected. After harvest, the wine is aged for 12 months in both French and American oak, giving it depth and complexity.
In the glass, the "Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria" is a deep ruby red. Its intense bouquet surprises with aromas of dried plum and cherry jam, accompanied by nuances of spices, tobacco and a hint of rum pot. In terms of taste, it is a strong and full-bodied wine. Its gentle tannins provide a pleasant structure that results in a seemingly endless aftertaste. This Primitivo is a perfect accompaniment to strong meat dishes such as beef and game, but also goes perfectly with hot, spicy braised dishes and blue mold cheese.
The outstanding quality of the "Sessantanni Primitivo di Manduria" has been recognized several times in the past. The 2013 vintage was awarded the gold medal at MUNDUS Vini 2016 and by Luca Maroni in 2017 as “Best Red Wine in Italy”. The Berlin Wine Trophy also honored him with a gold medal in 2016. Not to be forgotten is the gold medal from MUNDUS Vini 2018 for the 2015 vintage. A true treasure for every wine connoisseur.
