Product information on "UNO Primitivo di Manduria DOC" from the Masseria la Volpe winery in Sicily
The UNO Primitivo di Manduria DOC from the Masseria La Volpe winery is an authentic representative of its origin and brings the sunny power of Puglia into the glass in a particularly balanced form. It combines ripe fruit, fine spice and a smooth structure to create a Primitivo that is both accessible and full of character.
In the glass, the wine shows a very dense ruby red. The bouquet is generous and inviting: ripe plums, cherry jam and dark berries combine with spicy notes, which give the wine depth and a Mediterranean character.
The vinification is carried out exclusively from hand-picked Primitivo grapes, which are harvested at optimal ripeness. Fermentation takes place with indigenous yeasts at controlled temperatures to clearly bring out the fruit and origin. Subsequently, the wine matures for around nine months in French and American oak barrels, which gives it structure, harmony and a fine spice, without dominating the fruit.
On the palate, the UNO presents itself soft, balanced and pleasantly full-bodied. The fruit is ripe and juicy, the tannins are gently integrated, and the acidity is well balanced. The finish is round, warm and harmonious – typical Primitivo di Manduria and very accessible.
A versatile red wine that is convincing both on its own and as an accompaniment to hearty dishes.
Wine style: warm, soft, fruit-driven, spicy
Pairs with: grilled meat, game dishes, lamb, pasta with rich sauces, Mediterranean cuisine
