2021 ELEGIA Primitivo di Manduria Riserva from Produttori di Manduria is an intense, full-bodied, and complex red wine from Puglia in Southern Italy. Made from 100% Primitivo from old vines, it offers concentrated dark fruit, ripe cherries, plums, spices, cocoa, and elegant oak notes. The Riserva aging adds extra depth and structure, making ELEGIA a serious and gastronomic Primitivo with both power and elegance.
ELEGIA is produced by Produttori di Manduria, a traditional wine cooperative in the heart of Manduria, where the Primitivo grape has been cultivated for generations. The producer works purposefully to preserve the area's old vines and demonstrate how complex and elegant Primitivo can be when yields are kept low and the grapes are given optimal conditions.
ELEGIA Primitivo di Manduria Riserva is made from 100% Primitivo from old vines, where the naturally low yield provides small quantities of grapes with great concentration. After vinification, the wine is aged in French oak barrels, followed by further bottle aging before release.
The longer aging helps distinguish ELEGIA from more fruit-forward Primitivo wines. Here, you still get the grape's characteristic ripe and generous fruit, but combined with greater complexity, structure, spice, and finesse. The result is a premium Primitivo di Manduria Riserva with both immediate charm and potential for further development.
Primitivo di Manduria DOC is located around the town of Manduria in Puglia on the southeastern heel of Italy and is considered one of the most important areas for Primitivo. The warm Mediterranean climate with many hours of sunshine gives the grapes optimal opportunities to achieve great maturity and concentration.
The area's characteristic reddish soil, calcareous subsoil, and proximity to both the Ionian and Adriatic Seas help create Primitivo wines with intense fruit, warmth, and body, but also the necessary freshness and structure. The old vines play a special role in the region's best wines because their low yield produces more concentrated and complex grapes.
Nose: Intense and complex with ripe cherries, blackberries, plums, and dark forest berries, followed by cocoa, vanilla, licorice, spices, and fine toasted oak notes.
Palate: Full-bodied and concentrated with juicy dark fruit, ripe plums, cherries, dark chocolate, and spices. The tannins are mature and well-integrated, while the oak aging adds structure and extra complexity.
Finish: Long, warm, and persistent with dark fruit, cocoa, spices, and elegant toasted nuances. Despite the wine's power, a great balance and freshness are preserved through the finish.
Best served at 16-18°C in a large red wine glass. ELEGIA can advantageously be decanted 30-60 minutes before serving, allowing the concentrated fruit, spices, and complex oak notes to open up.
The wine can be enjoyed now, but the Riserva style and solid structure also make it suitable for further aging under good conditions.
