Papale Primitivo di Manduria 2020

Its color is intense, ruby red with beautiful violet hues.  The rich aromas reference fruit jam, black currant, blackberries, cherries, cocoa and licorice.  Its taste is round and soft, with a long-lasting aromatic finish.  

The Primitivo grapes are harvested from the estate's oldest vineyards located close to the Ionian Sea in the heart of DOP area. 'Di Origine Protetta' translates to "Protected Designation of Origin" referencing quality wines, produced in a specified region. The grapes are hand harvested from carefully selected old vines - between 40-80 years old - grown on sapling-based vineyards with low yield, but high quality, grapes.
