Produttori Di Manduria, Aka, IGT, Puglia, Italy, 2024
About
In the heel of Italy, Manduria is considered the birth place of the native Primitivo grape, and was officially recognised as such in the 1970s when a DOC was created for the region. However Produttori di Manduria had been making wines for 40 years by then, unashamedly proud of their deep affection for Primitivo.
Produced from grapes harvested from 20- to 40-year-old espalier trained vines. Harvested in the second half of August, the average yield per hectare is 100 quintals. To extract colour and phenolics, the juice is left in contact with the skins for only a couple of hours directly into the press, then fermentation off skin at 18°C in stainless steel tank.
