TASTING NOTES

Production

The winemaker, a native of Manduria, has contributed like few others to the redemption of Apulian wine and the renaissance of Primitivo, demonstrating just how much class and elegance lie hidden in a grape variety long forced to remain on the sidelines. His SE comes from newer vineyards, still planted using the very dense Apulian alberello system, reaching a density of 12,000 vines per hectare. This means that each vine yields a small quantity of grapes, but they are highly concentrated. The SE, Primitivo di Manduria, was first bottled in 2012. Unlike the ES, this more modern version of Gianfranco Fino’s Primitivo is aged for nine months in first- and second-use barriques.

Organoleptic Characteristics

The colour is impenetrable; on the nose, fruity notes of cherry, blueberry, blackberry and morello cherry rise, resting on a tantalising balsamic and sweet spice backdrop. The palate is of great density, where softness reigns supreme, leading to a most pleasant finish in which the acidity necessary to balance the wine emerges.

Occasion and Pairing

Undoubtedly an iconic bottle from Southern Italy, perfect for making a great impression at a Sunday lunch and a delightful accompaniment to red meat dishes.

Serving Temperature

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

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.
