TASTING NOTES

Production

Paololeo was destined to produce wine from the family vineyards of Masseria Monticello. What he probably did not expect at the outset, in the early 1990s, was to become one of the most important producers in Salento. One of the most beautiful areas in southern Italy, it is constantly buffeted by both the warm sirocco winds and the cold tramontana, creating significant temperature fluctuations that contribute to the quality and aromatic variety of the grapes produced here. Located right in the heart of the Salice Salentino DOC, more precisely in the municipality of San Donati, the Paololeo winery boasts 25 hectares of vineyards and is a family-run business managed with passion by its namesake heir, Paololeo. Primitivo di Manduria is a wine of excellent structure and body, with a high alcohol content and an intense bouquet; it lingers on the palate, evoking the ripe fruit ripened under the Salento sun. Aged for 6 months in American oak barriques and 2 months in stainless steel. Energy values: 349 kJ / 83 kcal per 100 ml

Organoleptic Characteristics

Primitivo Paololeo has an intense ruby red colour and intense aromas of ripe cherries and black cherries, with notes of chocolate and coconut. On the palate, it is full-bodied and balanced, with well-integrated and balanced tannins.

Occasion and Pairing

It is ideal paired with roasts, game and wild mushrooms.

Serving Temperature

To fully appreciate its style, this wine should be served at a temperature of 14–16°C.

Allergens: Solfiti
