Primitivo di Manduria DOP
Intense black cherry aromas and other fresh fruits combine to create a juicy palate. Soft on the attack, the Primitivo di Manduria 2018 is medium bodied with juicy black fruit flavours, a fine texture and supple structure. Primitivo di Manduria is a southern sub-region of Puglia renowned for the quality of its full-bodied Primitivo.

Solemnis Primitivo Salento IGP
Intense cedar, pencil shavings, buttered toast and oaky aromas are complemented by ripe dark berries and blackberry characters. On the palate it is supple with oaky vanilla cream and succulent mulberries and blackberries, which continue to linger in the mouth. After fermentation and an extended maceration on skins, Solemnis was matured for six months in Allier oak barrels. Drinking deliciously now, it should stay at its peak for some time.

Verve Negroamaro IGP Salento
Spicy aromas of white pepper, musk and meaty notes precede a sweet attack on the palate, revealing ginger, nutmeg and blackberry flavours. Verve is a medium-bodied wine with some chewy tannins on the finish. Matured for six months in Allier barrels, the oak is less marked than the Solemnis.
