Elegia Primitivo di Manduria Riserva is a structured and expressive red wine made from 100% Primitivo grapes grown in the Manduria area, where warm Mediterranean conditions and iron-rich soils favor full ripeness and concentration. The wine undergoes extended aging, including time in oak barrels, which adds depth and complexity while shaping its character.
In the glass, it shows an intense ruby color with garnet reflections. The aromatic profile is rich and layered, with notes of ripe black cherry, plum, and blackberry, followed by hints of sweet spices, vanilla, cocoa, and subtle balsamic nuances.
On the palate, it is full-bodied and warm, with smooth yet firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a long, persistent finish. The style is powerful but polished, combining the natural richness of Primitivo with controlled elegance.
Elegia Primitivo di Manduria Riserva pairs well with roasted or braised red meats, game, slow-cooked dishes, and aged cheeses, offering a classic and expressive interpretation of this iconic Apulian appellation.
