Mandus Primitivo di Manduria DOC 2017 - Pietra Pura

The colour of the superbly structured Mandus Primitivo di Manduria from Pietra Pura is a dark cherry red. In the glass, this red wine from the boot sales of Italy smells very intensely of fruity sour cherries, plums and cassis, accentuated by light toasted notes.

On the palate the Mandus Primitivo is characterized by sweet tannins and a soft taste. A harmoniously integrated vanilla note and subtle wood nuances round off the taste.

Vinifictaion of the Primitivo di Manduria DOC Mandus by Pietra Pura

The Pietra Pura line is the result of the collaboration between Rocca delle Macie, the Zingarelli family winery and the Terre di Sava winery in Apulia. The grapes of this pure Primitivo are harvested in the San Marzano area. After fermentation at a controlled temperature, the red wine is gently pressed and separated from the skins and seeds. It then matures for a good four months in French oak barrels.
