Vespa Winery's "Il Rosso" Primitivo di Manduria 2022 originates in the heart of Salento, from Primitivo vineyards cultivated on limestone and clay soils, kissed by the sun and tempered by sea breezes. It is a wine that interprets Apulian tradition with a modern style, combining intensity and immediacy.
In the glass, it presents a deep and brilliant ruby red color.
On the nose, it releases intense aromas of ripe plum, brandied cherry, and blackberry, enriched by notes of sweet spices, cocoa, and a slight balsamic hint.
In the mouth, it is enveloping and full-bodied, with soft and well-integrated tannins that support a vigorous and balanced structure. The finish is long and persistent, with fruity and spicy returns that emphasize its typicality.
An authentic and characterful Primitivo di Manduria, ideal with grilled meat dishes, game, aged cheeses, and rich pasta dishes, capable of immediately conveying the strength and generosity of Salento.
