Cellar
Produttori di Manduria is the oldest cooperative in Apulia.
The Cantina's adventure began in 1928 when a small group of 'enlightened' wine growers took over an old factory and created the 'Wine Federation', an association of producers that four years later, on 9 July 1932, formalised its legal status as a cooperative with the establishment of the 'Consorzio Produttori Vini e Mosti rossi superiori da taglio per la zona di Manduria'.
Today, the Cantina has around 1000 hectares of vineyards, half of which are still cultivated using the traditional alberello system, and strenuously defends the work of 400 small wine craftsmen, the only ones who can boast the appellative of Maestri in Primitivo.
Description
Memoria Primitivo di Manduria DOC 2022 from the Apulian winery Produttori di Manduria was produced from Primitivo grapes. It is a dry, fresh and spicy wine with a full body, juicy tannins and a fruity finish.
Organoleptic characteristics:
It has a ruby red colour with garnet nuances. The nose is intense and elegant, with clear hints of ripe dark fruit, cherry, plum, chocolate and sweet spices. In the mouth it is dry and full-bodied, softly caressing the palate with good consistency and elegant tannin, accompanied by a pleasant and harmonious freshness. Rather long and ample finish.
Storage time:
5 years
Vinification
in red with thermoconditioning of the fermentation process (22-24°C)
