Description

'Carrubo' Primitivo di Manduria is a distinguished red wine from Puglia, Italy, showcasing the region's signature grape variety. In the glass, it exhibits an intense ruby red colour with violet hues. The nose is rich and complex, featuring pronounced aromas of morello cherries, liqueur-soaked cherries, and dried prunes, along with delicate notes of liquorice, vanilla, chocolate, and amaretto. 

On the palate, this wine is soft and generous, with elegant tannins that are well-supported by a pleasant freshness. The finish is exceptionally long, leaving lingering fruity aromas that are characteristic of the Primitivo grape.

The grapes were harvested when they were overripe and then gently crushed. The wine was aged for 18 months in the cellar and for an additional 18 months in the bottle before being released.

Puglia

Puglia, located in the southeastern part of Italy, is a prominent wine region known for its rich history and vibrant wine culture. Often referred to as the "heel" of Italy's boot, it has been producing wine for thousands of years, with viticulture deeply rooted in its ancient Greek and Roman heritage.

Puglia's warm Mediterranean climate, with abundant sunshine and cooling sea breezes, creates ideal conditions for growing robust and flavorful grapes. The area is particularly renowned for its red wines, with Primitivo and Negroamaro being the standout varieties. Primitivo, closely related to California's Zinfandel, produces bold, fruit-forward wines with high alcohol content, while Negroamaro is known for its deep color and complex flavors, often with hints of dark fruit and spices.

Puglia also produces notable rosé wines, particularly from the Salento area, and a range of full-bodied white wines, making it one of Italy's most diverse and dynamic wine regions.
