Description
What kind of wine it is
D’Addario Primitivo di Manduria Vignalesta is a still red wine from Apulia that faithfully reflects the essence of the Primitivo grape. It presents a clear bouquet of plum, wild berries, cinnamon, liquorice and dried figs. On the palate, it reveals a full body, offering an opulent and velvety sip that finishes with a persistent aftertaste reminiscent of coffee and chocolate. Deep and structured, it pairs ideally with lamb, game, rich ragù and mature cheeses.
Where it comes from
Vignalesta is produced in Sava, in the Salento area, a central zone for the Primitivo di Manduria denomination. The vine roots explore soils rich in iron oxides, lying on limestone rock that sometimes emerges at the surface. This geological base maintains the freshness of the plant and ensures a high sugar concentration in the grapes. The soil imparts an intense minerality to the wine, essential for balancing the body and depth of flavour, enhancing the typical wine characteristics of the Taranto province.
How it is produced
The processing of Primitivo grapes aims for a solid tannic structure and a clear aromatic definition. Maturation takes place through ageing in French oak barrels for about a year; the time in wood blends the fragrances of ripe fruit with spicy notes, giving a smooth texture. For optimal tasting, it is best served at a temperature between 16 and 18 degrees. It is also recommended to decant for one hour before pouring, to allow for proper oxygenation.
History and Curiosities
Vignalesta is the prestigious Primitivo di Manduria DOC by D’Addario, a red wine that embodies the authentic winemaking vocation of Apulia. Produced in Sava, it originates from vineyards whose roots delve into soils rich in iron oxides and limestone rock, which bestow it with exceptional minerality. The winery combines rural tradition with the expertise of oenologists to create a label of absolute excellence. The 2022 vintage stands out for its elegant maturation in French oak barriques.
