Sonetto Primitivo di Manduria Riserva

The top of the range. Vines of 50 to 70 years, 4,000 plants per hectare as bush vines, and twenty-four months in French barrique.

Vinified in stainless steel with skin maceration at controlled temperature. Unfiltered wine: a deposit is normal, and decanting is recommended.

In the glass — Deep red. Intense, complex nose of ripe fruit — blackberry, raspberry — in balance with oak and spice. Dry, warm and lightly round on the palate, with a long finish.

At the table — Red meats, small game.

Serving — 16 to 18 °C, decanted. 14.5% vol. 75 cl.
