Primitivo di Manduria
SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS:
With a ruby red colour, to the nose it releases decisive notes of ripe fruit, characteristic of primitivo, combined with light, elegant spiced aromas. On the palate, its full, sweet tannins give it a good balance between all its components. It finishes pleasantly, with persistent, intense, aromatic flavours.|
