Description

Allow me to introduce you to a true gem from the sun-kissed vineyards of Puglia, Italy: the Masseria Borgo dei Trulli Primitivo di Manduria. This isn't just wine; it's a journey into the heart of a region celebrated for its rich history and robust, flavorful wines.

Masseria Borgo dei Trulli is a winery that honors tradition while embracing modern winemaking techniques. They are dedicated to showcasing the unique terroir of Manduria, and their Primitivo is a shining example of their commitment.

The Primitivo grape thrives in the warm, Mediterranean climate of Puglia, resulting in wines that are bold, ripe, and brimming with personality. The Primitivo di Manduria is no exception. Its intense ruby-red color hints at the symphony of flavors to come. The first swirl releases an intoxicating bouquet of ripe blackberries, plums, and cherries, intertwined with subtle notes of cocoa, vanilla, and a touch of spice.

On the palate, this wine is a velvety embrace. It's full-bodied with a smooth texture and well-integrated tannins. The rich fruit flavors are balanced by a refreshing acidity, leading to a long, satisfying finish. You'll find yourself savoring each sip as the complex layers of flavor unfold.

This Primitivo di Manduria is incredibly versatile when it comes to food pairings. Its bold character makes it a fantastic partner for grilled meats, such as lamb chops or a juicy steak. It also complements hearty pasta dishes, like lasagna or orecchiette with sausage ragu. For cheese lovers, it's a delightful match for aged Pecorino or Parmesan. Or, consider something special such as osso buco, or a slow cooked brisket.

But let's be honest, this wine is also perfect on its own. As the sun sets, pour yourself a glass, relax, and let the flavors transport you to the idyllic landscapes of Puglia.

With a suggested serving temperature of 16-18°C, it’s best to let this wine breathe for about 15 minutes before enjoying, allowing its aromas to fully develop.

This isn't just another bottle of wine; it's an invitation to experience the passion, tradition, and craftsmanship that define Masseria Borgo dei Trulli and the Primitivo di Manduria. It's a taste of Puglia, waiting to be discovered.
