Primitivo di Manduria, Tenuta Giustini (75cl)

This is a great Primitivo di Manduria for all lovers of the wine. With a complex bouquet of black fruit, this red wine is full-bodied, smooth, velvety, and elegant, offering a lively character that’s perfectly balanced with a long-lasting finish. While it may be priced slightly higher than a typical Primitivo, the richness and depth of flavor provide a superior and unforgettable tasting experience.

Primitivo di Manduria is the only officially recognized DOC Primitivo wine, despite the Primitivo grape being cultivated widely across Apulia and beyond. According to the legislation, only grapes grown within the defined boundaries of Manduria, a historic town facing the Ionian Sea, can be used to produce this distinguished wine. All other Primitivo wines are classified as IGT or IGP.

Versatile and refined, Primitivo di Manduria pairs wonderfully with rich, flavorful dishes, think slow-cooked meats, hearty pasta, or aged cheeses. For a truly indulgent treat, enjoy it with some dark dark chocolate to elevate the tasting experience.

The 2006 is the year Tenuta Giustini was born, even though the current generation's grandparents had been farmers and cultivated grapes all their life and their parents before them, they wanted to put in a bottle their grandparents’ hard work, until then, the grapes were sold to local cooperatives, they wanted to show them that their hard work and care in the vineyards, could produce great wines.

Salvatore, the latest generation, started with very little financial resources, but bags of passion and dedication, and bottle by bottle, in 2015 he finally built the winery, a winery equipped with all the latest equipment, the missing link to his dream.

Tenuta Giustini has vineyards in some of the most vocated area in the Apulia region, including Manduria, where they grow Primitivo that becomes Primitivo di Manduria, the only DOC Primitivo wine.
