TASTING NOTES

Production

Primitivo di Manduria Es comes from the red soils typical of the area, from grapes grown using the alberello method, essential for withstanding Manduria’s relentless heat. Irrigation and fertilisation are strictly prohibited. Harvesting begins in late August, after allowing the bunches to dry slightly on the vine. After careful sorting on the sorting table, the bunches are placed in stainless steel vats for maceration on the skins for 15–20 days, before being racked and left to mature for nine months in barriques, equally divided between first and second-use barrels. Finally, the wine is stabilised for a further nine months in the bottle.

Organoleptic Characteristics

A sparkling ruby red, heralding a striking nose built on raisins and ripe red fruits, underpinned by notes of tobacco and spices. On the palate, complexity is accompanied by a perfect balance between savouriness and fullness, framed by perfectly integrated tannins that culminate in an invigorating mentholated finish.

Occasion and Pairing

The pairing intended for the heads of state’s cheeses can undoubtedly be extended to first and second courses based on red meats, even those with a substantial structure.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 16–18°C.

Allergens: Solfiti

THE WINERY

Gianfranco Fino

A meticulous search to find the perfect vineyard has led to the rise of Gianfranco Fino's winery, which began in 2004. Taking into account precise characteristics that could give his wine a unique personality, the choice fell on a fifty-year-old Primitivo vineyard in Puglia. Gradually, with the intention of protecting old vineyards and keeping their uniqueness alive, Gianfranco Fino's holdings have expanded to include vineyards between 50 and 90 years old, lying on red soil and rocky outcrops. Together with his wife Simona, he takes great care and attention with each vine, from which he ensures a low yield in order to preserve its exceptional nature. In the Gianfranco Fini winery, interventions are kept to a minimum, favouring only those essential to the natural enhancement of the product, in which the strong territorial identity is inherent. Gianfranco's hard work has been repaid with the great recognition obtained by his Es Primitivo di Manduria Doc, an excellent red wine, and by the title of best Apulian company obtained just a few years after he started his business. Name and address of producer/distributor: Gianfranco Fino - contrada Lella, sn, 74024 Manduria (TA). Products from this winery should be stored in a cool, dry place away from heat sources.
