ZOLLA PRIMITIVO DI MANDURIA 750ML | 2020 | 14.5%ALC

Description:
The Zolla Primitivo di Manduria from Vigneti del Salento is a milestone for the parent winery Farnese Vini in Abruzzo. With this red wine from Apulia, the Farnese oenologists have proven that great red wines with a lot of power and full body are also possible at a price noticeably below EUR 15.

The Zolla Primitivo di Manduria comes into the glass with a fantastically dense purple-red color and ruby-red reflections. The wonderfully complex and spicy nose enchants with cherries, ripe blackberries and juicy plums. Spicy notes of cinnamon, juniper, a little vanilla and a subtle smoky undertone complement this.

On the palate, the Zolla Primitivo starts with lots of fruit, incredibly soft tannins and a fine fruity sweetness. Spicy, fruity and juicy-fresh nuances go hand in hand. The round tannins give this Primitivo a truly first-class structure and introduce a long, multi-faceted finish.
