Terratini Selezione Limitata Primitivo di Manduria 2024

Terratini Selezione Limitata Primitivo di Manduria 2024 is a powerful and charming red wine from the famous Manduria region of Puglia, where some of Italy’s most concentrated and flavorful Primitivo wines are made. The warm Mediterranean climate, combined with the cooling breezes from the Ionian and Adriatic Seas, gives the grapes optimal growing conditions and exceptional ripeness.

The grapes are harvested by hand in early September when they have achieved the perfect balance of ripe fruit, sugar and acidity. After a gentle temperature-controlled fermentation, the wine is aged in French oak barriques. This maturation adds extra depth, elegant spices and a beautiful complexity that takes the wine’s character to a new level.

In the glass, the wine appears deep ruby red with beautiful dark hues. Despite its full-bodied style, it is remarkably soft and well-balanced. It’s a wine that pairs perfectly with grilled meats, simmered dishes, mature cheeses or simply as a generous glass in good company.

Tasting notes

The aroma is intense and inviting with notes of vanilla, ripe plums, cherries and dark chocolate. The taste is rich, round and silky with layers of ripe red fruits, blackcurrant and sweet spices. The French oak barrels contribute elegant toasted notes, vanilla and a hint of cocoa. The finish is long, soft and persistent with notes of plums, ripe berries and light toasty nuances.

The story behind Primitivo di Manduria

Manduria is considered the heart of Primitivo production in southern Italy. The area’s warm climate and calcareous soils produce grapes with great concentration and intense fruit character. Over the decades, Primitivo has gained international recognition for its full-bodied style, soft tannins and rich flavor profile. Created as a tribute to this proud tradition, Terratini Selezione Limitata showcases the region’s quality in its most generous form.
