La Pruina Vini Ilmo Primitivo di Manduria Riserva 2019

The Primitivo di Manduria Riserva fulfils every desire for wines with robust intensity and rich, roasted aromas. It boldly asserts its character without reservation—a wine that commands attention with its broad shoulders and profound depth. Primitivo Riserva epitomizes everything one expects from Primitivo di Manduria: deep, dark, and opaque, it announces its presence with assertive aromas. Expect abundant red fruits, ripe plums, and dried fruits, underscored by generous notes of vanilla, chocolate, and coffee.

From the first sip, it exudes power, far from a gentle quaff. Roasted flavours of coffee and cocoa harmonize with juicy dark berry notes characteristic of Primitivo. The tannins are robust yet velvety, complemented by noticeable acidity and a balanced sweetness. Extended ageing in wood contributes a distinct profile of liquorice, vanilla, and hints of rum-soaked fruit.

This wine is a standout, with typical Primitivo allure—its pronounced fruit sweetness and powerful character may not suit everyone, but for enthusiasts, it shines above the rest in its category.

Ilmo Riserva is particularly well-suited to robust meat dishes, such as steak or spicy barbecue. Enjoy slightly chilled for a sublime pairing experience.
