2023 Paolo Leo Passo del Cardinale Primitivo di Manduria
Regular price £15.49 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 117): Computation results in '-Infinity'%Primitivo grapes ripen very early, which is how they got their name. Interestingly, just 20 days after the harvest, Primitivo vines produce new grapes, traditionally called "second harvest." These younger bunches are used by the winemaker to enhance the freshness and acidity of these bold wines, creating a wonderful balance with the rich berry fruit and spice character.
Tasting Notes
Deep ruby red with refined garnet reflections. A rich bouquet of blackcurrant, ripe cherries, and forest fruits, interwoven with hints of licorice, coffee, and sweet spice. The palate is silky and enveloping, featuring dried fruit, damson, and red plum, harmonized by fresh acidity and polished tannins. Long and enduring finish highlighted by notes of berry jam and warm spice.

Vinification
The grapes are destemmed and fermented at a controlled temperature of 25 °C for 8-10days. A maceration on the skins follows, during 15-18 days, to improve the delicate extraction of tannin sand flavors. Matured for 3 months in American oak barriques and 6 months in steel.
Producer
Now in its fifth generation, Paolo Leo is based in the Salento wine village of San Donaci. The story of this beautiful estate began at the turn of the twentieth century, when Antonio Leo started to vinify the grapes grown in the vineyards of “Masseria Monticello”.The winery has enjoyed constant investment over the years and is today a thoroughly modern winery, with a capacity of 120,000 hl of wine and a barrel room housing 1000 French and American oak barriques.The company is certified BRCGS/IFS, BRCGS Ethical ICEA Organic, EQUALITAS .

2021 Produttori Di Manduria, Elegia, DOC
Regular price £24.99 Save Liquid error (snippets/product-template line 117): Computation results in '-Infinity'%This is an intense , complex Primitivo Wine
Tasting Notes
A bright ruby red colour with garnet nuances, this is an intense and complex Primitivo wine. Aromas of ripe raspberry and blackberry as well as plum jam combined with clean, spicy, vanilla and balsamic notes. Dry, warm, soft, tannic and persistent in the mouth, all rounded out by the toasted oak notes.

Producer
In the heel of Italy, Manduria is considered the birth place of the native Primitivo grape, and was officially recognised as such in the 1970s when a DOC was created for the region. However Produttori di Manduria had been making wines for 40 years by then, unashamedly proud of their deep affection for Primitivo.
As well as making high quality examples of Puglia's most famous vinous export, this leading producer is well versed in producing fascinating whites from Fiano and Verdeca. But it is with the poetically titled Elegia that the extraordinary levels of quality come to light. Made from old bush vines up to 50 years old it creates a wine of intense dark berry fruit with wonderful balsamic end notes and excellent balance.
Production
This Riserva level Primitivo is produced from grapes harvested from 35 to 50 year old alberello (bush vine) and espallier trained vines. Harvested in mid September, the average yield per hectare is 60 quintals.
A temperature controlled fermentation is made at 25° C with maceration for 2 weeks before 12 months of ageing in French Allier oak barriques, a proportion of which are new oak.
