Papale Oro Primitivo di Manduria 2019, Varvaglione - 15 Litres Nebuchadnezzar

Indulge in the allure of Papale Oro – deep, dark, and irresistibly seductive. Aromas of kirsch, plum, and spicy oak; flavors of dark chocolate, ripe cherries, and spice. Puglian excellence, offering warmth, character, and approachability. Complexity, pure fruit intensity, and plush velvet texture. Layers of black cherry and blueberry fruit, balanced by refreshing vibrancy from start to finish.

The Primitivo variety has been cultivated for centuries in the Puglia region. It tends to have high vigour, mature relatively quickly and produce high yields. Drought and high temperatures can be a problem so using the alberello system of training allow for better vine management. Vines are planted in the province of Taranto at an altitude of 150-200 metres above sea level and the harvest is done by hand.

It matchs very well with red meat, game, heavy sauces, but it is also nice withn spicey food and with hard cheese.
