Leggenda Gold Series Primitivo di Manduria DOP from Fantini Wines is a premium expression of Primitivo from one of southern Italy’s most renowned appellations. The grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards in the Manduria area, where the warm Mediterranean climate and clay-limestone soils allow for full ripening and high concentration.
The wine shows a deep ruby color and an expressive aromatic profile of ripe black cherry, plum, and dark berries, layered with notes of vanilla, chocolate, and sweet spice derived from oak aging. On the palate, it is full-bodied and enveloping, with velvety yet structured tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, rounded finish.
The style is rich and layered but remains harmonious and approachable, avoiding excessive heaviness. Leggenda Gold Series Primitivo di Manduria DOP is designed for lovers of intense, ripe red wines with depth and polish, and pairs particularly well with grilled or roasted red meats, game, and aged cheeses.
