Description
What kind of wine it is
Poggio Maru Primitivo di Manduria is an enveloping still red wine that expresses the vocation of the Apulian territory, made from Primitivo grapes. In the glass, it displays a deep dark violet colour, hinting at aromas of blackcurrant and ripe blackberry enriched by delicate oak notes. On the palate, it is dry and full-bodied, offering a fruity sip accompanied by a slight herbal nuance. The persistent finish delivers soft notes of plum and spices. This solid structure makes it the ideal pairing to enhance grilled red meats and flavourful first courses.
Where it comes from
The grapes for this wine originate in the Primitivo di Manduria area, specifically between the towns of Avetrana and Manduria, in the heart of Salento. The vines, cultivated using the traditional Apulian bush vine system, benefit from intense sun exposure and have an average age of around thirty years. Thanks to strict low-yield management, the bunches achieve optimal aromatic concentration and full ripeness. These specific agronomic conditions allow for an expression with a rich body and a profound territorial identity.
How it is produced
The process begins with manual harvesting towards the end of August, preserving the integrity of the fruit. After destemming, the berries undergo fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, during which pumping over and delestage techniques ensure a gentle extraction of aromas and tannins. Following malolactic fermentation, the wine undergoes careful ageing for eight months: part matures in first-passage French and American oak barrels to acquire warm and spicy notes, while the remainder rests in steel.
