La Pruina Vini ILMO Riserva Primitivo di Manduria 2021, 0,75 L

This Primitivo di Manduria Riserva checks all the boxes for those who love wines with power, intensity, and roasted aromas. A bold, unapologetic wine that stands tall, it doesn’t shy away from making a statement.

Primitivo Riserva embodies everything that defines Primitivo di Manduria—deep, dark, and opaque, it immediately reveals its character on the nose. Expect a wealth of red fruit, plums, dried fruits, and rich layers of vanilla, chocolate, and coffee.

From the first sip, this wine is all about power—far from delicate, it showcases roasted notes of coffee, cocoa, and a touch of vanilla, complementing the juicy dark berry flavours typical of Primitivo. Ripe tannins, noticeable acidity, and a hint of sweetness round out the palate, while the extended oak ageing imparts a unique character of liquorice, vanilla, and rum pot.

This is a wine that isn’t for everyone. With its pronounced fruit sweetness and bold personality, it’s designed for true Primitivo lovers. If you’re a fan of the varietal, this wine will undoubtedly outshine most others in the category. Don’t miss out—it’s a showstopper.

Ilmo Riserva shines best when paired with hearty meat dishes, especially steak or a smoky barbecue. For an even more remarkable experience, serve it slightly cooler for the perfect balance of boldness and finesse.
