Description
What kind of wine it is
Primitivo di Manduria Giaramano Riserva by D’Addario is an organic still red wine made from Primitivo grapes. Distinguished by its ruby red colour, it displays an intense and enveloping aromatic profile. On the nose, notes of overripe red fruits, black cherry jam, plums and almond-studded dried figs emerge. On the palate, it reveals an opulent structure, harmonised by a velvety tannic texture that leads to a long and persistent finish. This is an expression that enhances the natural vocation of the Apulian territory, offering remarkable depth of flavour.
Where it comes from
This wine is produced in Sava, in the heart of Salento, an area renowned for viticulture. The vineyards are grown on soils rich in iron oxides, characterised by outcropping limestone rock. This particular geological formation ensures valuable freshness for the vines and encourages an ideal sugar concentration in the grapes. The soil imparts a distinct mineral imprint to the Primitivo di Manduria Giaramano Riserva, defining its typical structural intensity and a broad, long-lasting sensory profile.
How it is produced
The winemaking process includes a maturation designed to enhance the identity of the grape variety. The wine is initially aged for one year in terracotta jars, locally known as capasoni, before completing its evolution with two years in medium-toast French oak barrels. The combined use of amphora and wood preserves the aromatic integrity, giving the sip an elegant softness. It is recommended to decant for an hour to allow its nuances to fully express themselves. It is ideal paired with rich and aromatic dishes, pork and mature cheeses.
